Greetings,Direct bank transfer for this transaction ONLY! No returns, no ebay money back bull**it! This is the real deal. No mods, no replaced parts - ALL ORIGINAL!!!!!!The guitar has been played and it will show all the typical wear for such an old guitar - dings, rubbed off corners, checking marks, scratches etc BUT there have never been any modifications, alterations, repairs and no splits. There are 6 tiny holes adjacent to the original ones for the tuners and those have been added as those tuners are heavy and the screws that hold them to the body - skinny. I have fixed the situation without any adding anything to the holes and installing the tuners to their proper positions. Everything is currently 100%. As most of us know these years were somewhat a chaos so this bird has the bass side tuners winding in reverse - something I have seen on numerous all original examples before. Nothing unusual - it just takes time to adjust to it. Also, the small screws that help intonating the bridge are gone - I will either have vintage ones or correct new parts installed at time of delivery. Besides these three minor details the instrument is ALL there (ALL of them have their pickguards chipped, so that's the way it is). The pictures will tell you everything in detail! Please ask questions PRIOR to making a purchasing decision. International bidders HAVE to contact me FIRST before making an offer. Original hard shell case in very good condition included! Thanks and please take a look at the photos below!
