Other than the above changes, the rest of the instrument appears to be in original condition, but it is likely that the body was painted as an overcoat after cracks in the paint film occurred. However, it is cracked and cracked as if it was treated with lacquer paint on top of urethane paint film. It seems as if general paints were sprayed on top of the urethane finish, and the cracks are unique. The urethane finish on the neck is also cracked and peeling. Missing 3rd & 4th string string guide & tremolo back panel, middle PU date: last two digits stamped "74" (difficult to decipher due to age), tone pot date: 250K AUD 137-7408, stains and paint film. Chemical change marks are characteristic of this piece.
