Description
What makes this guitar special: A true American beauty with a cool, well-played, vintage vibe. The neck shows quite a bit of wear, but has a smooth, comfortable feel to it. The Wide Range humbuckers sound fantastic with lots of depth & character to them. Professionally set up & ready for action.
Cosmetic Condition: Good, honest play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & finish wear. The pearloid pickguard has warped quite a bit & has some cracks in it. The natural finish has aged nicely over the years & turned into more of a smoky, caramel color, especially on the front of the headstock. However, there is no nicotine odor whatsoever on the guitar. Overall it has a great look to it with a gorgeous patina.
Neck: Nicely rounded maple neck with skunk stripe & black dot inlays. Original frets have been dressed. They're fairly small, typical of the period, but still playable. Bullet truss rod & double string trees. F tuners are in good working condition. 1 9/16" nut width; 25 1/2" scale length. Neck stamp reads 3 FEB 72 B.
Body: Semi-hollow ash body in natural finish with single F-hole. String-thru bridge with adjustable saddles. 3-ply pearloid pickguard. Guitar weighs 6 lbs 14.1 oz.
Pickups: Fender Wide Range humbuckers. Bridge - 10.39K ohms; Neck - 10.24K ohms. Master volume & tone controls with knurled knobs; 3-way selector switch with black "top hat" cap. Pots date to '72 & all electronics are in good working condition.
