Although over 40 years old this one remains in very good condition. The body shows some light surface marks throughout and is missing the back plate, but overall is in very good condition. Neck shows some light surface marks as well but is otherwise very clean. Headstock shows some minor dings and two small holes\/chips in the finish where it appears someone had screwed the break angle bar all the way down pushing the screws through the back side of the headstock. See photos for details. Otherwise headstock is overall in good condition with no major damage. Fretboard is very clean and remains in great shape for its age with no notable damage or blemishes. Frets show minimal wear with no major divots or issues with dead spots or buzzing, and have plenty of life left in them. Hardware shows signs of age and patina\/pitting, but is all fully functional and overall in good condition. Electronics have been thoroughly inspected and work perfectly. Original humbuckers sound great. A rare shredder from Yamaha that plays great! Has been fully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home. Includes gig bag and trem arm. See below for a full list of specs and info. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight: \u003c\/b\u003e7lbs 3oz\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/b\u003e C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck Thickness: \u003c\/b\u003e1st fret .787\", 12th fret .853\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eFretboard Radius: \u003c\/b\u003e9.5\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut Width: \u003c\/b\u003e1 5\/8\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Values: \u003c\/b\u003eNeck 10.35k, Bridge 10.28k\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eThe Yamaha EX-1 is a rare vintage electric guitar made in Japan starting in October 1985.
