Medium C profile 2 piece Maple neck with a bound Rosewood fingerboard. 20 Medium jumbo frets, the guitar has had a re-fret at some point in time and the frets do look great and have minimal wear. Split parallelogram inlays, bone nut and bound headstock. The fingerboard does show some light pitting between fret 6 and 12. Chrome tailpiece and Rosewood floating bridge. Floating DeArmond pickup with the controls on the pickguard. The machine heads on it are a set of repro, the originals do come with it but the tulip tips have gone brittle which is typical for on these. You can have then re-tipped if you wish. There is a few marks here and there and some light play wear. This is very minimal especially considering the age. Incredible player and great sounding.
