Condition
This is a half century old instrument, so there are a lot of scratches overall, but I think it is in relatively good condition for its age. The bottom part of the 6th photo shows a lot of scratches.
The frets and wiring have been sent out for adjustment and have been serviced.
The pickups are 3-way, and all other pickups have been confirmed to work.
Neck: Good
Rod: Unchecked
Fretboard: Fretboard has been rubbed together. The frets have been rubbed together and are at just over 90% from that state.
In my opinion, all frets are in good condition and very easy to play. The tone is very loud and raw, just like a vintage instrument. It is very fun to play blues with an amp and enjoy the dead sound.
