This item has been professionally lacquer painted and relic'd by a reliable workshop. The neck pocket is Fender standard at 55.6mm, and the bolt hole positions are the same as American Elite models, aligned with the heel cut. High fret access is incredibly easy. The weight is 1.8kg, though this is an estimate from a bathroom scale. Conductive paint has been applied. The color is most accurately represented in the first image. Thank you.
