It's an incredible guitar! Really looking forward to seeing it restored to its full glory. Good call having it seen by a tech as being without strings for so long can make tensioning strings a bit of a trauma for a guitar that isn't used to it anymore, so will need a bit of attention no doubt and quite possibly will need some truss rod adjustment a couple of weeks down the road.
And speaking of the tech, does he come well recommended? I'm not far from Finchley and my Jazzmaster is due some TLC, including possibly a new nut, so interested to know what your experience is like in terms of service and price!

Just spent a lovely hour talking shop with an old gent called Haim somewhere in the depths of Finchley.
Stunning little workshop and clearly his sanctuary from the world.
He’s excited to give the Swinger its service, describing it as ‘easily the most charming and significant Fender I’ve seen in over 30yrs’.
Quite a compliment.
