I had this guitar refinished many years ago. Many of the parts on this guitar are from various boxes of stuff I have here at the shop. The pickups are the good flat pole ones form 1962. The metal parts are original gold parts from the early 1960s. Some of the control plates are new and the arm is new. The guitar weighs 8 pounds 4 ounces. This is a nice restoration, so kudos to me.
