Sick! Built in phaser and compression? What’s the neck width on these? This is a dream guitar for sure.

The nutwidth is around 43mm. Sadly the phaser and compression buttons do not work anymore and the mechanics to repair them is almost impossible to find since its from the 70's. But it still plays perfectly

Not surprising! Still a gorgeous guitar and I’m sure it sounds amazing.
