Each fingerboard has a black fret board with white painted frets, and square fret position markers. Console is held up with three steel fully adjustable screw-on legs.
Pickups/Electronics: Original single coil pickups with master volume, master tone, and a 3-way pickup selector switch for neck 1, both together, and neck 2. The pickup selector switches detents have worn off, so the switch travels freely between all settings, though all settings work perfectly and stay in place. Neck 1 Pickup: 9.94K Ohms.

Set Up: Professionally set up by our guitar tech with .011 - .050 gauge round wound strings.
