Very Good condition, 7/10, all original parts, no |
breaks or repairs, including original brown |
4-latch hardcase with pink lining, wraparound |
bridge, both finish and plastic parts light up |
nicely under the blacklight, worn original frets |
(will probably need a refret soon but we leave |
this to the next owner), tiny wood crack by the |
treble side bridge post, worn and crazed finish, a |
weird mark in the pickguard (perhaps from a |
soldering iron?), rusty pickguard bracket, thin |
binding in the cutaway, single ring no-line Kluson |
tuners, the braided 2-strand shielded wire to the |
output jack has been cut and grated to a modern |
piece of braided shielded 3-strand wire with |
insulation, probably to make the lead longer to |
make it easier to solder and re-install, the brown |
Switchcraft output jack looks correct for 1954, |
has had a different screw pattern output jack |
plate installed but the holes are now filled and |
an original style repro is now installed |
