Modifications

Previous owner had spray-painted over the smoke green top with black gloss.

I sanded off the black and refinished the top with Testors model-master auto-lacquer and clear-coat (diamond green is a good match).

The sides and back were left original.

The Bridge is a funny looking bridge with little "monopoly house" looking individual adjustable saddles for each string. Not sure of the brand. All the other hardware on the guitar is original.

Unusual factory features

The fretboard is unusually flat. I don't know if someone sanded it down and refretted it but there is barely any radius.

Great playing guitar.
