This is such a great looking guitar and the big metalflakes in the finish truly make this one sparkle. I don't see the 3-pickup models all that often and everything works on the guitar except the veg-o-matic switches have been taken out of the signal chain. They are intact and can easily be hooked back up but I don't want to chance cracking the pickguard any more because it has shrunk over time. But with three volume controls you can still dial in a bunch of different tones fairly quickly! The burgundy finish is in great shape and the tremolo unit is stable and stays in tune. The arm is missing but the locking hardware is still in place and a typical Teisco/Aria/Kent arm shouldn't be too hard to find.
The guitar has a repaired headstock split; it separated vertically and was cleanly glued back in place. The original finish was lightly sanded but looks like it can be easily buffed out to original gloss. I'm not touching it for fear of making it look like it was 'doctored' or something. It's still a great guitar overall and comes in a nicely padded bass gig bag (to accommodate the longer headstock).
