Two controls (master volume, master tone) plus three-way pickup selector switch and jack socket on the treble side of the pickguard, two roller knobs (volume, tone) plus two-way circuit selector (rhythm/lead) slide switch on the bass side of the pickguard.

There is some fine finish checking, especially on the headstock face where there are a few small surface chips. There are two small areas on the treble bout edge where the finish is chipped away - the largest being just under 2 x 1/2 inch. There are a few other small marks / indentations on the body and the varnish on the back of the neck is mostly worn away. With all that said this all original great surfing guitar is in excellent plus (8.75) condition and plays and sounds amazingly.
