Note that
this Golden does not have the usual dark stained strip between the two sets of
edge purfling on the body top, although this is present on the back - see photo
below.
When new, this guitar was fitted with "toaster"
pickups. These were changed to Type 510 pickups, and the Hofner
Micromatic bridge fitted together with the new type pickguard, in 1963
at the request of the original owner.
