Tech Notes: The guitar is set up with .010 gauge strings plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. Due to the limited adjustability of the truss rod, .010 gauge strings or lighter are recommended. The serial number dates between 1970 and 1975, and the headstock inlays are consistent with pieces dating between 1973 and 1975.
