Here is a list of what is original, missing or changed starting at the head stock and working down
Originalstring tree and screw
nut
fingerboard (slots filled for fretless)
neck
truss rod
neck plate and screws
body
stap buttons and screws
bridge and screws
control plate and knobs (1 of 3 screws is different)
pickups, mounting screws, shielding plates
some wiring (wiring from pickups to electronics is not original)
bridge volume pot, tone pot, tone cap and jack.
Missingoriginal tuners
hootenanny strap button on back of headstock
frets
original body finish
pickguard (and screws and holes)
pickup cover, bridge cover (and screws and holes)
thumb/tug bar (and screws and holes)
original bridge volume pot.
Changedtuners
extra string tree added
extra hole from a different string tree placement
hootenanny strap button replaced with string tree piece
no frets (made fretless and slots filled)
re-finish (not sure what it is but it has cracked a lot with age, has dings and dents and chipped out around neck pickup)
neck pickup volume pot
wiring to pickups
OtherSince it was made fretless and since I like my action very low, I added two 0.025" aluminum plates under the neck as a shim. I didn't want a wedge shape in there that would change the angle of the neck or the pressure points on the neck. The plates act as spacers lifting the neck so I could get the strings lower than the bridge would allow. The plates can obviously be removed.AdditionalIncluded in this sale is (what I believe is) the original Fender case (black outside, orange inside with Fender badge on outside.) The inside is clean. The outside is is very scuffed and marked up.
Shipped/Insured CONUS only.
