The back of the neck is glossy with numerous small dings, and the edges of the fretboard are worn comfortably smooth.

Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief, and the tall frets show minor wear. The neck is very straight even with the truss rod fully loosened, and so the guitar sets up best with 10 gauge strings or heavier. The serial number and neck stamp date the guitar to 1969.
