He took great care of his instrument and never modified the guitar in any way. All parts appear to be original to the guitar except for one replaced saddle height adjustment screw. He even kept the original tag, bridge cover, case key, tremolo arm. The neck and frets are straight and in good playing condition. All electronics are original to the guitar including the oft replaced three way pickup selector switch. The original Olympic White finish is in good condition and shows typical fading, checking, wear, and nicks/scratches. The most significant areas of wear include the forearm area and edge of the body on the treble side.
