Condition & Playability
This guitar is original, with no major modifications. The neck is straight, truss rod functions, and fret wear is minimal. The original 496R / 500T pickups deliver a more modern, punchy edge compared to vintage PAF-style humbuckers — great for rock, blues, and heavier styles. The slim ’60s neck leads to fast, comfortable playability, especially for players who prefer a lower-profile grip.
