All four pots are date stamped 1976 but I'm assuming this is likely a 1977 :toast

Nice one pops! The first fret looks a little high at the nut. Are the strings resting on it? Also, I've never had the "G" in a lumie, but how the hell do you adjust the pups? From the backside?

It looks damn clean and unmolested with the exception of the.......sorry........pup rings...again. :D

Great pics too!

You mean the zero fret...no, the strings are not hitting it (deceptive photo).

Yes, you adjust the pickup height from the back.

Also, the absence of center holes means there were never walnut pickup rings and therefore, it is unmolested. :thumbsup

You got it bad don't ya?!? Looks real clean.
Congrats on the "gift". :thumbsup

Congrats, nice 450G there, nice light walnut:thumbsup. The electronics on those early Lumies with the steel grounding plates are the cleanest I've seen, my 450G's guts look just like it.
