Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with medium-low action and light neck relief, and is currently set up with 12-53 phosphor bronze strings. Because the neck does not have an adjustable truss rod, heavier strings would not be recommended. The frets are narrow and medium height for most of the fretboard; the frets on the tongue are low as they have been dressed down. The serial number dates this guitar to 1974.
