EXCELLENT. This guitar is being offered on behalf of a customer, and it is in a remarkably good condition. All playwear there is is only of a surface nature, such as pick scratches on the pickguard and light wear in the body finish. The pickguard was modified at the bridge position for the full-size humbucker.Its sound is enhanced due to subsequently installed pickups. The tremolo backplate is missing. Technically, there are no issues with the instrument. All components work fine. 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.
