So this guitars big claim to fame is the name: Futurama! great show and I was happy to learn of this “original” Futurama. Normally when I take in an old guitar I dismantle, clean, restore, reassemble. That usally means changing the electronics. But after servicing the pots with D5, I resoldered everything and the electronics are original and functioning. When I saw the output jack nut and the size of the sealed pots, I had to keep them. Its only original once after allThe controls are Balance, tone, volume near the output. The banacE pot is subtle. Its about 80 ohms and makes one pickup or the other slightly more dominante than the other. The tone works backward, deep tone clockwise. New Ernie Ball Slinkys 10-52 strings just installed22 1/2” scalePickguard upper right corner was broken; I modified it to be similar to the lower left sideMissing a few pickup pole screws. It has no effect on thier performance.The balance knob is not original but coolTuning pegs have been tightened and Guitar grease in the gears.Delicate to play. There isn’t a lot of string angle between the tailpiece and bridge and you can pop strings pulling up. I adjusted my picking so I could enjoy the jangly pickups and unique tonesYou could take this to the next level spending time dialing it in.Comes with what you see in the pictures. Nothing else inluded or implied. If making an offer, please explain your reason for the offer. I will respond to all, positively.
