SOLD!. The previous owner sanded the neck, I gave it a coat of Truoil when I got it. The neck feels really great, super slick/fast but still like wood, definitely on the slim 60s side. It just feels and plays amazing. 8lbs 15oz. The original pickups were swapped out for a custom set of Jalen’s with gold screws/poles. A PAF-ish neck wind and a hybrid bridge wind (in same vein as Duncan ‘59/Custom Hybrid). They sound great. There is lots of swirl in the finish and the occasional impression but it’s not beat up around the edges/corners much at all. The case is in almost perfect shape. Those are upgraded knobs it came with black speed knobs.

There is some finish damage that a previous owner did. It looks like they either spilled some stripper when removing neck finish or something similar. I’ve never tried to do anything to it. It’s almost all on the back of the body/headstock and it doesn’t affect anything. The back of the neck is perfectly smooth, oiled wood all the way up. The finish damage is at both ends of where the neck was sanded plus some ‘spots’ on the back of the body. The spots are ‘almost’ smooth to the touch. I tried to take pics of the worst of it. The guitar is overall in great shape.

Beautiful, and I bet it plays like a dream without that modern, sticky lacquer on the back of the neck.

The only scary part is the 666, at the end of the serial number. :ROFLMAO:
