Several cracks are present in the top, back, and end block, but all have been repaired and are stable. The original frets remain, while aftermarket Grover \"butterbeans\" have replaced the original strip tuners. Its full neck and compact body make for an inviting playing experience with a character all its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"x12ofw9d\"\u003eThe factory order number is partially obscured by smudged ink.
