Very Good condition, 7,5/10, Made in Fullerton, CA, USA, weight 3380gram (7,45lbs), neck stamp is 2FEB63B, new nut and has been refretted in the past, including original Swedish Järna hardcase and the original ash tray, all original parts, all 3 pots are dated 3046324 (24th week of 1963), the only story on this guitar is that is had 2 dead pickups on arrival to us (neck and bridge) but both could be saved by Norwegian Fender guru Oivin Fjeld without doing a complete rewind and instead he removed the outer 20 layers of wire on both pickups so the short circuit could be removed, and both these pickups have their cables professionally spliced and lengthened with correct non-tinned vintage cable with the splice hidden under the masking tape since the cables were too short after earlier removal, all the original parts were re-installed by Oivin as they were in the case including original volume potentiometer and the 3-way switch, the pickups measure bridge 5,5kOhm, middle 5,2k and neck 5,2k, one detail to mention is that the pickguard has a small burnmark from a soldering iron in the lower edge
