The neck finish is original and the body has an old refinish. The pickups, electronics and pickguard are original, there has been no work in the control cavity, and the original bridge cover is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree of the tuning machines are later single-line Klusons, the only other change from original. The other three are original \"no line\" tuners marked PAT APPLD. No changes were made to the headstock, and the tuner screws look original. The neck heel is dated 2-53, and the neck cavity is dated 9-29-52 and signed \"Eddie\" by Fender employee Eddie Mendoza. The heel is not signed by Tadeo Gomez.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt weighs 7 lbs 9.5 oz and has been set up perfectly. The case is a Fender reproduction of the \"poodle\" case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eColor: Blonde\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 7lbs 9.5oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody: Ash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Date\/Code: See Pics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck: Maple w\/ Walnut Skunk Stripe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Profile: D\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Date\/Code: See Pics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard: Maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInlays: Black Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFrets: Refret\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Count: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut: Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut width: 1-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eRadius: 7.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eScale: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck thickness at 1st Fret: .937\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck thickness at 12th Fret: .995\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 1st String at 12th Fret: 2\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 6th String at 12th Fret: 2\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOverall length: 38-3\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eLower bout: 12-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWaist: 9\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eUpper bout: 11\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody depth\/thickness outside edge: 1-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eString gauge: 10-46\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eHardware Color: Nickel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003ePickguard: Original black phenolic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBridge Pickup\/Brand: Fender Single Coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBridge Pickup Reading: 5.55k\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBridge Pickup Original?: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Pickup\/Brand: Fender Single Coil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Pickup Reading: 7.16k\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Pickup Original?: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBridge: Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuners: Non original mixed set.
