Pretty nice old thing, apparently was built around 1974 (still researching the serial number). Was incredibly badly setup...I basically dissassembled the whole thing, adjusted the neck, polished frets, intonation, etc...Now it plays very, very nice! Came with nice flatwound strings. THe thing is pretty light (I think these are made of poplar), and the maple neck has a pronounced D-profile, never had a neck like this and it feels nice to have so much "shoulder" on the edges of the neck. Tuners work nicely, surprisingly so. Pickups are two huge single-coil thingies that sound nice, kinda unique.
Here's a quick clip testing bridge, neck, and both pickups, with tone and volume on 10.
