Notes -
- Bridge appears to be ABR-1 with nylon saddles and wire retainer, mounted backwards. Bridge is badly collapsed from string pressure (possibly Bigsby). Studs are secured directly into wood (correct for ABR-1) and stabilized with additional "sustain sisters" thumbwheels
- Finish is worn with playing and checked (quite attractively) from age and temperature variation
- Finish fluoresces evenly and nicely consistent with age. Plastics glow well and are likely original. No signs of cracks, breaks or repairs (tiny drop-filled chip on bass-side horn)
- Not able to get any decent readings of pot codes
- Scars, scratches and dings consistent with age and use
- Tuners are non-original
-Strap buttons are non-original (straplocks)
- Serial # is 6 digits, indicating pre-1975,
- Bigsby tailpiece may not be original - some excess mounting holes are showing
- The look, knobs (including thumb-bleeders) and headstock are consistent with 1973
- Pickups appear to be original. Neck pickup has bobbin damage- see pictures
