The neck joint is a plain square tenon, so prone to slipping and needing a reset. I had my 1957 Senator reset and refretted around 30 years ago, it's still perfect. These are bright, forward sounding guitars, not a lot of nuance, but good enought that McCartny and Lennon had them very early on. The non-trussrod neck is quite beefy, could stand to be planed down a bit.
