I have owned this guitar for over 30 years and looked after it well during that time. The condition is very good with some battle scars consistent with age for a 44 year old guitar - please see the pictures - I've tried to show the various knocks and dings. The tuners have been changed at some point in it's life (before I had it), leaving extra holes.

The 2 humbuckers put out a fairly hot signal for rich, assertive rock tones - very usable for classic styles from blues to hard rock.

 

New case included which fits like a glove.

 

Price reflects service and setup, new case, shipping and a beautiful vintage guitar.
