More Information

This example has been messed with over the years. The entire guitar appears refinished and the impressed serial number is indecipherable with only a few very faint numbers towards the end. The guitar has had a refret with some of the ebony having repairs following this. It appears as though the guitar may have also been rebound to the neck. All the hardware has lost most of its gold plating which is typical of guitars of this era. The pad from the back is missing and the buttons have been removed and the old holes filled. Some of the screws to the plastic back plate have been replaced and some are missing. Personal viewing advised.
