Very Good condition, 7,5/10, Made in USA, including original hardcase (Järnacase as sold by Swedish distributor Hagström), weight 3,68kg/8,11lbs, lots of little dents and scratches in the finish but pretty clean overall, worn original frets that can be leveled and re-crowned, clay dots, 4 patent number decal, one string tree, original nut, double line Kluson Deluxe tuners, the neck plate has the previous owners personal number engraved, tremolo back plate has 2 corners missing from overtightened screws, some typical wear on the side of the body from the case, staggered pole pieces, original plastic parts, neck stamped 2OCT64B with transition logo, veneer rosewood fingerboard, paint stick mark in the neck pocket, S-marking on the body by the neck pickup cavity (Special or Sunburst) and worm rout in the bridge pickup cavity, the tremolo cavity has an interesting black streak painted under the finish that seems to cover something but as the entire guitar is totally untouched we are trying to understand why this was done in the factory, neck and middle pickups are dated 33065 AS and the bridge pickup is stamped in yellow CH MAR31 ´65, the pots are dated 1376505 (5th week of 1965) which would indicate that this guitar was put together and came on the market in March of 1965 but with October 1964 neck and February pots and all pre-CBS specs including the green pickguard and clay dots
