The date on neck is partially visible, appears to be 22 Mar 71 (see photo #9)

The guitar has paint wear and some small scratches and dings.

This poor guitar was butchered by a previous owner. He took out the pickguard with all the electronics, and replaced it with some Univox parts. He carved into the wood with an axe or a chisel to accommodate the double pickups (see photos #11 and 12)

The knobs are missing and also the switch tip. The bridge is not original.

The guitar sounds and feels good. It has new .010 gauge strings.

The neck is in good condition, pretty straight. One of the tuners has a coin soldered.

In response to some questions:

The guitar weighs 6 lbs 10 oz

The frets and fretwires have heavy wear, mainly from the 1st to the 10th fret on the four lower strings.

I tried to post a close-up picture of the frets, but does not allow changes once an item has offers.
My brother\'s opinion is that for professional use, a refret job is needed.

For the people from outside the U.S.A. interested in the guitar, I\'m very sorry, but I was unable to add an international shipping option.
Once an item has offers changes are not possible.
