Listed in fair condition because there are scratches and clear coat contamination throughout. This guitar was gigged heavily but still plays and sounds fantastic, but it does show significant wear. The frets were levelled and polished at some point, so the playability and worn-in feel are great.

There are multiple paint chips around the edges of the body. There are paint chips around the neck plate on the body. There are scratches on the top where the pickguard scraped into the clear coat while doing modifications. In many areas, there is clear coat contamination that looks like a solvent or other liquid got on the clear coat, giving it an orange-peel appearance. It's only noticeable up close and in heavy light. I didn't even notice it at first until I started cleaning it when I got it.

The pickups have been replaced with Fender Pure Vintage '65 pickups.

The bridge has been upgraded to the elusive and highly desirable Staytrem from the UK. None of the original parts are included in the areas where the upgrade exists.

The strap pegs are also not original.

Includes original case, which is in good shape.

Weight a little under 8.5lbs. Not super heavy, but not light.
