The story

A 1989 Fender Japan PB70-70R, serial E976387, with a three-tone sunburst finish, ash body and rosewood fingerboard. The model and period are supported by the E-serial and PB70-70R neck and body markings.

It weighs 3.6 kg and went with its case to Römerberg, Germany. The original pickguard shows substantial wear and the hardware has age-related oxidation; no structural repairs were noted. The truss rod works, though its remaining adjustment range is limited.
