EXCELLENT. The guitar has obviously been not very much played and is in best functional and cosmetic condition. The instrument looks almost like new, apart from some minor blemishes in the clearcoat on the body (see pictures), and very light overall playwear, such as tiny pick scratches. Otherwise, there are no cosmetic issues with the instrument. Technically, the guitar is flawless anyway. The hardware and the electronics are fine, the frets still have about 80-90% life left. Furthermore, the instrument has been professionally cleaned and set up by our guitar technicians, and carefully checked for proper function and playability by our product experts, to ensure its perfect working order.
