Condition: Excellent Condition, from a distance looks mint, however you can find a handful of light scratches and dings when inspecting closer around the body. These come from age and use and is not noticeable unless you look for them. A few scratches and swirlies on the back but no real buckle rash and not feel-able to the touch. The neck and headstock are preserved well with light signs of wear and frets have medium to lots of life left.

Electronics:
All original pickups and pots that date to 1977 except for the the original bridge tone pot was replaced with a push pull pot, but the restored to back to an alpha pot. Electronics work very well but without the original solder joints.
