I bought this in California in about 1974. At the time it was right-handed, finished in metallic blue, and had one single-coil pickup. I converted the guitar to a lefty, stripped it down and gave it a non-diluted linseed oil finish, with stunning results. Replacing the original pickup with a 1973 Gibson humbucker gave this guitar a super fat sound with lots of agression.
