In very good condition for its age and is all original apart from 2 tuning peg tops

Very playable and frets are in a good condition an the neck is straight

Serial number 5367

Early models had the name Hi-Lo on the tremolo plate (after 1968 this was Wilson) and a Rhythm/Solo toggle switch up near the neck pickup. A Rapier logo was inscribed into the scratchplate on the right hand side of the pickups( its faded but still there)  and would have been originally gold but this has worn away on most guitars. There was also a decal of the Watkins logo on the headstock. Early knobs were black or white with a concave chrome top.

The Rapier 33 has an extra pickup in a slanted middle position. The original tremolo arms were chrome plated and comes with the guitar.
