    Summary

    Body: Spruce top and maple back and sides

    Neck: Two-piece maple neck and bound rosewood fretboard with dot inlays

    Pickups/Hardware: Two humbuckers, independent volume controls with potentiometers dating to 1966, pickup selector switch, and bass and treble switches

    Cosmetic Condition: The top of the body has a few deep checking lines on it and has a much more matted finish than the rest of the body, which is fairly glossy. The body is pretty clean overall, just a few very minor dings and scratches here and there. The neck is in excellent condition except for some finish wear on the bass edge around the fifteenth fret. The headstock just has a little finish wear on the top edge. This 500-1 is looking good.

    Modifications: Some wires have been replaced, otherwise it's all original.

    Weight: 4lbs 10oz

    Case: Non-original hardshell
