Mute assembly missing. I have made a mute pad. I made a rear plastic access cover. The FilterTrons have been coil split. The two upper selector switches split the coils. Pickup selector is on the cutaway. Master volume and two tone knobs are on the lower bout below the f hole.
- Unusual factory features
Early Dial Up Mute. Label indicates a model number of 6196 and looks to be a custom color called Sahara Desert, a GM color. Trestle bracing.
This was an ebay purchase from a Hoboken area studio. The case is a later 60's Club case with blue interior and dary gray exterior.
