The truss rod has a good range of adjustability in both directions.

The inlays were removed and reglued. The original nut has been shimmed.
Case Details: Original hardshell case.
Cosmetic Condition: This guitar is in good condition, with lighter wear for its age. The finish is glossy, still very vibrant, and has really only faded on the back of the neck. There are dings, scratches, dents, and finish chips throughout. Some areas of hazing and weather checking exist. There are a few larger dents/ areas of finish wear on the back of the neck from play. The hardware has a strong patina.

Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with low action. The frets are wide and tall, with minimal wear. The serial number dates to 1965, and two visible pot codes date to 1964.
