Unusual factory features

1958-style heavy trestle bracing, crooked heel and off-centre neck stripe.

When I bought this guitar the original 2-tone smoke green finish had been stripped and refinished in clear. The only original features appeared to be the wood, pick-ups and wiring loom - all else was repro/replacement. A clumsy headstock repair had been overpainted with a stinger.

Joe and Curt brought this ol' girl back to life better than I could have hoped - thanks guys!
