Here's what we found in the file:

body: solid Koa
neck: 3-piece Maple
scale: 32: medium
fingerboard: Ebony
controls: volume, 4-position pickup selector switch, filter, q-switch, mono output
originally made for: Colfax Music
birthday: March 8, 1984

There's a note that the neck is undersized, but the dimensions aren't recorded.

There's also a repair noted of the neck pickup mount being broken, and we replaced both pickups before the original purchaser got it. Originally registered in Colorado.
