There is a repaired crack on the lower wing of the headstock. There is a hairline crack in the middle of the body that extends under the pickguard that is secure and purely cosmetic.
Serial Number: OF3252
Tech Notes: Plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. There is a slight upward “swoop” at the end of the fingerboard that does not affect playability. The frets are low and show only minor signs of play wear. The serial number indicates a production year of 1975 and the pot codes indicate a production year of 1974.
