✨ Condition

Good Vintage Condition - REFINISHED / MODIFIED

This is best described as a player-grade vintage Fender body rather than an untouched collector piece.

Condition Notes:
• Older Black refinish
• Old Bigsby mounting holes visible beneath the finish
• Normal scratches, dents, finish wear and aging should be expected
• Vintage ash body
• 7 lb body weight

The Bigsby holes being underneath the Black finish suggest the modification occurred before the current refinish, but without documentation I would avoid assigning an exact date to either modification.
