Extremely well kept, this gloss Natural nitro lacquer is 100% original, and there are a few tiny, cleanly doweled mounting holes for a non-original (and since removed) jack plate. The gloss shows some subtle ambering of the clear coat, with light spiderweb lacquer checking on top and sparser checking on the back. Cosmetic wear is limited to small dings (largely adjacent to the tailpiece) and light finish scratches. The neck profile is clean and smooth with a touch of palm wear central to the carve.

The original black tolex hardshell case is included.
