In very good condition and working order for its 50 year vintage. There are some minor scuffs and marks on the body, but it is generally clean.
The top coat on the headstock was cracking and peeling but has been treated with epoxy and clear coat to prevent further degradation.
The hardware is of course a bit dulled but everything works well and it plays great.
The rear pickup has been replaced with a well matched ceramic type to balance well with the original front pickup. The casing is original.
It sets up well and plats smoothly with a good crisp punch when balanced, and a hearty quack on the rear pickup. The front pickup has some throat to it too, so it's pretty ideal tone wise!
