-The Ebony Board and Bridge are of High Quality real Ebony Not that Ebonized painted Stuff you see.

-She has Great Neck angle and Tight as new Neck Joint (pictured).

-She has The Good Tube top Japanese Machine heads where the top edge rolls over like the Vintage Grover's do from that period, and these are even beefier than those.

-She had a Pro set-up. When I first got her. the Medium Jumbfrets were divot free and showed just light wear, I gently leveled them as the neck was so Straight they didn't need much, then I perfectly Crowned and Mirror Polished every single Fret. I removed every bit of OPG (Other Peoples Grime) From the Ebony Board, Fret Edges, neck and Bridge. Tested, oiled and adjusted Truss Rod. and cut-in a New Bone Saddle .The Action is Better than average and she plays Great All the way up the board. And she has plenty of saddle showing.

-The Top Looks Stunning with its natural looking aged yellow look, she is almost 40 now, it has just a couple of visible chips/dings, in addition to that the top and the rest of the Guitar mainly has The back and sides also have a few spots, that have super fine and lite finish pitting, it actually looks like the ares that would touch the player, like wear his arm would rest. I had to use a Magnifying glass just to see what it was. much less visible smaller pressure dings and playwear, and light scratches. The back and sides also have a few spots, that have super fine and lite finish pitting, it actually looks like the ares that would touch the player, like wear his arm would rest. I had to use a Magnifying glass just to see what it was.

- She is Fully bound with 3 or 4 styles of Herringbone. The back edge binding has visibly shrunk over the years, as they used about 14 different pieces back there. The back even has a lot more binding than the top which its binding all but perfect & hasn't shrunk at all. Good News is that the Back binding has clearly stopped shrinking as it is Quite stable now. The back and sides also have a few spots, that have super fine and lite finish pitting, it actually looks like the areas that would touch the player, like wear his arm would rest. I had to use a Magnifying glass just to see what it was.
