It's dated on the back of the neck join as 16 JAN 73 serial number 407629 and there are very faint names :
L HUGHES and FRANK Y. Possibly
builders?
At some point a humbucker at the neck, a three way pickup selector and a strat style input have been
added. There is a volume control for the neck, one for the nick and an overall tone control where
the jack input was originally. As far as I know, it is still the original Fender single coil in the bridge position.
Guitar has a very jangly sound with the single coil, VERY full sound with the Humbucker and a pretty decent,
clear sound when mixed. Not quite as bright or barky as a Tele though. I tend to take offbottom E, Tune it to open G and use
it (Tele like) to play Stones tunes.
