The guitar was modified for a third middle pickup, seemingly ages ago, which was subsequently pulled back out along the way. The original wiring harness was slightly modified to accommodate the added pickup, but said harness remained intact even after it was reverted back to stock configuration. A cover plate was fashioned and installed over the old rout, which is held on by a couple of small wood screws.

The tuners were replaced with early "Pat Pend" Grover Rotomatics some time ago, with the exception of the D tuner. The original CTS pots show date codes of '65xx' denoting the likelihood of a 1965 build. The original stamped serial number on the top edge of the headstock was partially sanded off at some point in its life, as the work looks quite old. There's light finish work in the area which we've elected to leave be, but it's possible there's legible numbers beneath the touch-up.

Frets are original and on the lower side, but still offer nice playability.

Priced with a new aftermarket Gretsch hardshell case.
