BigRedX Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Remember that the scale length is only 31½" on the 60s models unlike the re-issues that are 34". Also the price is a bit steep considering the condition IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Surely a guitar can look like anything you want it to, as long as it works in terms of playability and sound? Re. Hardware - it all looks quite standard placement to me, other than the wonky pup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
