As a result, they can command high prices on the vintage market.

I am the second owner of this guitar, and it has been lovingly played. The neck is one of the smoothest I’ve ever played and it sounds amazing. Frets have been leveled, crowned and polished. Saddles have been upgraded with compensated brass, the nut is Graph-Tech, the pots were replaced, and treble bleed circuit removed. Some wear is inevitable on a guitar of this vintage, including light finish cracking, scratches and a dent in the neck pickup cover. Includes all original parts plus bridge cover, original unused strap, and documentation in original hard shell case.
