The originals are included but are pretty dirty so I did change them. Lots of really cool checking and you can see some under coating peaking through the checks. This was a big part of why I bought it....It has a really cool look to it. There are dings, scratches and a couple of kablams on the paint most toward the bottom back and is missing a couple of inches of paint by the lower strap button. Looks like someone wanted to get rid of the Ventures logo and got the V out or scratched off (????) but V is missing (see photos) Half of the low E tuner string side of gear is broken off. I have had this guitar for years and has never given me any problems (tuning or otherwise) Could be replaced but it its original and never bothered me so I just left it. The original case is missing on this one but it will be shipped double boxed and with a gig bag. Other than that Its a tip top Mosrite. All original Frets, Pickups, Tuners, Knobs, Switch, Trem arm, Pots (included), and Pacific Blue Paint! Great player! Low action! Sounds great! — Give me reverb or give me death! facebook.com/onenightstandards https://www.youtube.com/scotstandard scotstandard@yahoo.com Top

So - really a 1966. The guitar looks like a good candidate for Americna Restoration (see IvanP thread in the Shallow End). I bought a beater like this at a local Guitar Center several years back for $1,000.00 and GC was happy to get rid of it - trem bearings and spring missing, one pickup dead but the color was all black and it looked like it was played to hell. I brought it back to being a sound player. 3 grand is a bit steep for the (real) year and condition of your guitar but good luck to you in any event. J Mo' Top
