    Pickups/Hardware: original tuners, two pickups, three-way pickup selector switch, __ volume and tone controls (original electronics)

    Cosmetic Condition: The body of this vintage beauty is absolutely littered with dings, scratches, scuffs and finish swirling. The chrome plating along the bridge is flaking off giving this beast some nice character. The neck has a handful of dings, finish chips, and streaks of finish wear. The headstock shows a fair amount of edge wear and light scratches. This Ric is ready to Rock!

    Playability: The strings are set up with high action and light gauge strings because the neck is not straight and the truss rod has limited adjustability. There is some string buzz happening due to inconsistencies in the neck, especially between the 9th and 12th frets.

    Modifications/Repairs: The bridge height adjustment screws have been replaced with taller versions in order to raise the action.

    Weight: 9lbs 8oz
