Tech Notes: This guitar plays well with medium/low action. The neck has a slight twist resulting in a small amount of back bow on the bass side of the neck. The guitar has been set up to accommodate this neck condition and still plays well with minimal buzzing. We recommend 10 gauge strings or heavier on this instrument. The truss rod is adjustable. The frets have areas of fairly heavy play wear but are still playing well. The neck heel stamp dates this instrument to 1963.
