witch may be hard to do,just so many copies a body could have been used(non Fender) or a miriad of mods that may enhance value or detract a whole bunch..just talking value here. def. plug it in and pluck every string/fret every fret,twist every knob,looking for an electrical issue or buzzy...

i've had several combos,great when you want to sling it in the back of the wife's mini Ford and go jam with folks,,most of the (i'll say older meaning 90ish back) combos you can plug 2 instruments into and jam,but,you have to share the EQ setting however if you value having people stop by to...
