The headstock has some light wear as well, and there are visible marks and filled screw holes from the original tuners.
Serial Number: 071083
Tech Notes: Plays well with low action, and is currently set up with 10s. The neck has a slight twist resulting in a swoop upward at the end of the treble side, as well as a small hump on the bass side around the 9th fret, but the guitar has been set up to accommodate these factors and plays cleanly. The frets are fairly low with minor wear.
