The back plate has three corner cracks, a common occurrence with these plates, and the chrome neck plate is stamped L42741. The rosewood fretboard has pearl markers, the back of the neck is very clean with a small discoloured patch next to the first tuner, the transfer is age related and the Kluson Deluxe tuners are original. The guitar comes with a set of photos of the interior and electrics which illustrate the originality. It has its tremolo arm, bridge cover, original strap, lead, picks and also its original hand numbered instruction book. The original case is in good condition and comes with the keys.
