On the headstock, the Kluson-style Gotoh tuning machines have the correct vintage look, turn smoothly, and hold pitch well.

Cosmetic wear is limited to faint pick scuffing on the treble side of the guard, a couple microscopic nicks on the body edges, and a touch of light scuffing on the back lower bout body edge.
