Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.  In Very Good vintage condition with moderate wear for an instrument of this age, including light scratches, dings, remnants of a couple of stickers, and natural aging of parts and finish.  The original blue finish and contrasting blue stripes have aged to a lovely dark green.  The original Pearloid pickguard has similar aging. 

This guitar is all original except for the pots which date to 1971/72.  Close inspection of the pots leads us to believe they may have been replaced by Fender under warranty as they look exactly like original factory-installed pots should look.  A bit of a mystery but it only adds to the vintage charm of this wonderful guitar.  And it even comes with its original case.  See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings.  Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so.  We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument.  Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing. 

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear.  If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have.  Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
