Perfect for gigging, goes straight into the PA. Not really meant to be played unplugged but I’ve writ a few hits on the couch that way anyway.
I finagled a control plate and esquire pickguard onto this thing... I elmer glued it on- no permanent modification has been done. The screws are dummies that I chopped and sanded the bottoms off and glued to the pickguard. Nice wood accent piece could have inlays added. I can restore it to original condition before handing it over if you would prefer.
