This model is one of the most sought after Japanese made guitars out there today! This guitar is in good condition showing some scratches, dings etc consistent with its age but absolutely nothing that is an eye sore. Neck plate is not original, tuners are a nice upgrade from originals that probably did not stay in tune. This guitar plays well with low action and nice fret board.. All electronics, tuners, switches, volume and tone controls work correctly. Maybe it as repainted at some point. The Two Gold Foil pickups just scream 1960's!! Tremolo arm is not original but does the job. Just a super cool old guitar !! Comes in a very nice padded gig bag.
