Pickup cavities have been routed for full size humbuckers, guitar is currently outfitted with Seymour Duncan Antiquities. Original pickups have been lost to time. Instrument does not have badge. Bridge is not original, a second random bridge is included. #174884 Some cosmetics to be expected on a 60+ year old instrument, see pics. “2” on back of headstock likely means this was a factory second, this indicates that at one point there may have been a minor cosmetic flaw when it was first sold. Imperfections on neck near first position seem to have been filled at some point in the past, almost 0 fretwear to speak of. Frets likely not original. No mechanical issues.
