- Observations: This guitar shows obvious signs of use and is in very good condition considering its age. This guitar sounds fantastic. The pickup ring is cracked is several places. The pickup has patina all around. Neck binding has cracked off on the treble side past the 22nd fret. On the bass side by the 21st and 22nd fret the binding is seperating slightly from the neck. *The set screw for the neck pickup, on the bass side, is loose. In order to reset it the pickup and pick up ring must be removed. According to our in-house tech, due to the condition of the pickup ring, this has not been done because the pickup ring will probably fall apart if removed.
