I can get pretty excited about this one, it has a lot going for it. The last owner of this guitar may have been the original owner and the provanance is super interesting in a positive way, you can call me about that if you give a hoot. Anyway, this is original except for a small hole near the controls. It may have had a mini switch or something. The weight is not heavy, since there is no vari tone on the mono version. The Bigsby tailpiece is original and we prefer it.
