This one has been quite extensively modified, although the body and neck are original to the guitar, as are the tuners.
The original silver poly finish is intact, albeit quite heavily chipped and marked in numerous places.
Body wood is alder.
The neck is one-piece, plain maple with a walnut skunk stripe at the rear. Neck radius is 9.5″.
The serial number has been sanded off the back of the headstock.
Modifications
The 22-fret neck has been professionally refretted with jumbo stainless steel wire.
