it is really beautiful guitar. 73 is not popular among Fender vintage but surely good choice for lover of 70 hard rock. There was red spots on the neck, under the top coating. That was minus in cratmanship. The fender case was really awesome and adds extra value for a guitar. Worth few hundreds euro at least.
