"Un messed with" finish - some chips and checking revealing white undercoat. Beautifully faded to turquoise - haven't cleaned it yet... I don't think it's been played much in quite a while. Stunning color even uncleaned.
One of the bottom tuners has been replaced with a Right Hand jobbie....resulting in a new hole being drilled... no biggie as I had bought 3 XII/reversed tuners on fleabay when I realised I was turning into a "12 nutcase" a little while ago
. So will replace with a spare reverse '66 and get the hole dowled. The dowled holes at the bottom are from when Fender switched from Kluson Deluxes to "F" tuners in late 65 so that actual 'mod' is stock.Only other thing is case (got my XII case thanks Fullerplast!!!!!)
...and finally bridge screws.... they are flat heads.... and don't understand why cos who would replace them on such an original piece?
One final thing... a pawn shop card was in the case... kinda sad someone had to let this instrument go.....
anyway pics of guitar and minor issues below!
