The wiring harness includes a momentary “tremolo” switch (connected internally to a Fender amplifier pilot lightbulb), volume controls for both pickups, neck tone control, and bridge bass cut control. A 9 volt battery clip has been soldered into the circuit to accommodate the higher voltage replacement bulb. The ground wire has also been replaced, and several solder joints have been touched up.

Hardware: Original
Weight: 6 lbs 14 oz
Cosmetic Condition: The guitar shows nice aging, with light scratches, dings, and other blemishes from use on the glossy fiberglass body. The back of the neck has yellowed and has a few small dents, and the hardware has tarnished. There are a few small chips on the fretboard at the last fret.
Modifications/Repairs: -The bulb has been replaced, and a 9 volt battery clip installed-The string ground wire has been replaced-Some solder joints have been repaired
Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with medium-low action and light neck relief, and is currently set up with 10s. Because of the non-adjustable neck reinforcement, heavier strings would not be recommended. The frets are narrow and low, with light wear and small divots present up to the fifth fret. The serial number and model date the guitar to 1965.
Case Details: Hardshell case.
