The Lake Placid Blue gloss finish is categorized by Fender Japan as "Old Lake Placid Blue" or OLB, presenting as a more vintage-correct, icy shade of this classic custom color. Cosmetic wear is limited to a small area of buckle worming on the back and a few minor dings on the body as a whole, largely on the back and lower bout perimeter. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss.

A padded gigbag is included.
