Generally a good example for the age as this model tends to be due to them being lesser played due to the short scale. The finish has some light checking and various dings around but generally very acceptable for the age. The frets, which appear original, have minor indent wear but still very playable. The electrics are working and the potentiometers/wiring appear original although difficult to tell due to obstructed numbers. The tuning strips currently installed are later replacements, however the original tuners are retained with the case, the heads of typically have shrunk. The original case is fairly tired with the back hinges deteriorating. See images for general guidance.
