Spinex pickups came as standard as did the brass pickup surrounds, the neck had split pearl markers with a Mexican abalone insert in the middle, the low mass/light compact bridge was fitted as well as the Gibson style pickguard bracket however it had a one piece mahogany set neck instead of the laminated through neck and the fingerboard was rosewood.There are some marks on the guitar, it's not new. The finish is a little bit cloudy and some frets are worn, but it plays perfectly well. It has been a well played guitar. In fact it has a fantastic sound, The guitar number is 122331 so please do your home work before you buy.Please don't buy this guitar if you are a fussy person, go to a shop and buy one.
