Around 2014 it was painstakingly refinished in an aged cherry burst by FabGear (Jeff Levenson). Turns out the original Goldtop finish was hiding a beautiful flamed maple top with a subtle grain pattern. To complete the relic feel, all hardware was replaced by aged parts from RS Guitarworks. Please see photos for details. NOTE: Rhythm tone pot is a bit scratchy and may need replacing. Burstbucker 1 and 2. RS Guitarworks Vintage Electronics Upgrade Kit. All photographs shown are ACTUAL PHOTOS of the item listed. The serial number was stamped so it was removed as part of the refinishing process from gold top to aged cherry burst. Original receipt and hangtags are included in the sale as proof of authenticity. The serial number is on the receipt. It is faint and has faded with age but is readable as 700853 which would make this the 853rd 1957 reissue model produced in the year 2000.
