| History:
Bought used in Dunfermline, Scotland, UK in 1972. The guitar was re-finished
in 1984 keeping it's original 'Fiesta Red' finish (when bought it had
been refinished to dark walnut), a few 'dings' and scrapes with over
20 years of gigging. Last refretted in 1984 with wide frets, has had
fret dress since. The original machine heads have been retained but have
been replaced with Schaller gold heads. The guitar originally had an
'out of phase' switch fitted on the scratch-plate when bought in '72,
this has been removed and the holes plugged. As far as I am aware only
one pot has been replaced, original pick-ups, 3 way selector switch and
cloth covered wiring. The back plate is not original.
I have a tremolo bar from the 60's although the original broke. Definately a
players instrument, low action with 10's absolutely no string choke.
A seriously great neck profile, not chunky (shallow 'D' profile). Pick-ups
are very mellow and 'woody'.
