Made in 1997. The bridge saddle has been replaced with a Freedom one. This improves sustain. If you prefer the original, I can swap it out, so please contact me after purchase. The capacitors are Orange Drop. The sound has the rich low-mids characteristic of this era, blending well in an ensemble. The truss rod has room to spare. Weight is approximately 4kg. Comes with the original tweed hard case (with some rust).
