Neck Material: Mahogany

Neck Profile: "C" profile

Hardware: The tuners, nut, tailpiece and tailpiece studs are not original. This was originally a Vibrola guitar and the stop tail piece was installed later.

Cosmetic Condition: The guitar is in good cosmetic condition with signs of aging and play wear throughout. There are holes at the bottom of the guitar where a Vibrola used to be, and additional screw holes where a Bigsby was installed. There is moderate corrosion on the bridge, pickup covers, and tuners. The pickguard has shrunk slightly and is beginning to lift at the corners. The neck pickup ring is cracked in one corner but still functional. There is some belt buckle rash on the back, and some denting of the back edge near the electronics cavity. There are footprints on the front and back of the headstock where previous tuners were installed, and additional screw holes visible on the back.

Modifications/Repairs: The output jack and volume pots have been replaced. The nut is not original. The original Vibrola was removed at some point and replaced with a Bigsby. The Bigsby has since been removed and the guitar was converted to a stop tail. The ground wire was rerouted to go from the treble side tailpiece stud to the control cavity. The hole running the ground wire is visible next to the back control cavity cover. There is a repaired crack in the wood around the output jack. This area has been reinforced and is stable. The headstock wings have slightly separated and been reglued.
