A few notes: This guitar is all original and very clean with the exception of the knobs, vibrato arm, pickguard ($90 Chandler) and pickguard screws. Both pots date 1964. The pickup worked upon removing electronics from the original gassed pickguard. It now does not work and I cant get a reading on my meter. I tested with a different pickup and everything worked, so its definitely a pickup issue only. A period correct vintage replacement will cost between $100-$150 and is super easy to install. ... more
