I believe this to be late 70's maybe early 80's. All original and very heavy. Solid body, set neck. There are a few nicks as shown along with a binding break on the end of the head stock and screw holes from a former pickguard. There is a finish crack on one side of the neck joint but is finish only. I have only seen 2 other examples of the particular model and the both had the same finish crack at the same spot. There is also a small separation in the binding on the back of the body about an inch long. It is solid and seems to have been re-glued previous to my ownership. And being as old it has it's share of small dings and such.  Frets are leveled and polished and the action is awesome. No scratchy pots or spotty switches. I play this guitar often but it is one of many so I am willing to let it go. The lack of corrosion or pitting on the bridge is a good example of the condition of this vintage instrument. Currently it has Shaller strap lock buttons. I will convert them back to standard if the buyer requests. It will ship in a high quality Gator case.
