The guitar is fitted with its original stoptail and ABR-1 bridge. Both original Patent Number pickups are present; the covers were removed in the past, as a previous owner preferred to play the guitar uncovered.

The original tuners are back on the guitar; it previously had Grovers installed, with the extra holes now neatly closed.
