It had been pretty beat-up, but it works real good now. The push-button switching is actually pretty cool. I have a roller bridge in now to replace the missing original bridge- its the only one I could find that was narrow enough. It sounds great- bright, but not shrill with a broad variety of tones. The two large knobs are Volume (switchable) and the two lower knobs, where the stereo jacks used to be, are tone controls. The output jack is on the lower bout on the back- it doesn't get in the way. I've got the cover for the tailpiece, but I like it better without. I have a replacement coil in the 3rd pickup housing, its a Teisco and actually adds a little edge to the 2+3 PU combination. I'll probably get the dead coil rewound when I have $60 to spare. Those are a couple of my other thrift-store finds in the background, a 80's Samick and a 50's Sherwood (Kay)- Less than $80 total for all three!
I'm thinking that Di Pinto Galaxie IV is about the closest modern guitar to this. Eastwood made a reissue, but it has a Bigsby and Jaguar-style pickups.
