I'm the 3rd owner. The previous owner had it since the early 80s.

Good player condition. Nicely worn rosewood fretboard. Rock solid tuning. It never originally had ferrules since the 80s, but i just put new nickel ones in. The 6th string tuning post of damaged, but functional. The tuning posts are split in two in this style, and one half of that post appears to have snapped off at some point. Doesn't affect stringing it up or tuning, so it's just cosmetic.

The sunburst has an interesting warm faded look. Like the blacks almost look dark brown from the yellowing nitro finish. It's less obvious indoors, but in direct sunlight you can see have warm and brown the sunburst looks, which is a pretty cool aged look in my opinion. I used deoxit on the volume pots recently and now the neck pot is clean and scratch free. However, the original bridge pot stopped working properly. I replaced it with a identical spec 250k CTS pot. There should be no noticeable tone and sound difference from original. The original CTS pot is included for dating.

See pics for knicks and condition.

Let me know if you want to downgrade to a gig bag to save a little on the guitar and shipping.

Local pickup in Seattle available.

Guitar is 8.8 lbs
