ALMOST LIKE NEW. This guitar comes from 2006 and looks splendid for an almost 10 years old instrument. There is no playwear on this guitar, not even pick scratches on the body, which is simply amazing. However, at the neck joint there are two small so-called stress cracks in the clearcoat finish surface (not visible from the front). It is well known that such stress cracks can appear quite often on guitars with a bolt-on neck construction, especially if the neck is placed very tight and precisely, after the wood has reacted to changes in humidity, however slight. These imperfections are of course only cosmetic in their nature and do not affect the playability and integrity of this instrument in any way. Technically, the guitar is perfect and has no issues whatsoever. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
