tvguit Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Wow that thing got played didn't it! Everything looks original (to me) except for those 3 small switches. I'd say it was made in late '68 or '69. Very cool to have the original hang tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retrorod Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Man. that looks great! The electronics have been modified, obviously. The humbuckers would have originally come with gold covers. You would have to investigate into originality. The guitar, as someone said looks 'played' but appears to not been molested other than additional wiring....Cool!
