I am relisting this because of a flaw that surfaced after my first listing. There is a crack in the headstock, not a very major one but one that needs taking care of. You can look for yourself in the photograph I took of it. Not sure when or how the crack happened. It could have occurred decades ago, but hasn't affected playability or sound. Aside from, this was purchased by original owner in the summer of 1964. Sunburst finish. Comes with original hard case. All parts, except strings, are original. Included are two curly guitar cables, one straight to straight and one right angle, and USB cable. Condition: Good, but minor work needed. Tremelo bar is loose, might need only a washer. Pick shield has slight cracks around some screws and Firebird logo faded off. Treble and volume knobs might need to be replaced. Low E string tends not to say in tune, so the tuning peg for it might need work. Some scuffs and nicks to the edges of the body. Case condition: Outside slightly scruffy, with a small tear on the bottom. Some of the inside lining has pulled away from the sides.
