EXCELLENT. The guitar has seen its share of playing, however, the instrument is still in a very good condition. There is some surface playwear visible on the top and the upper edge of the body, as well as some minor pick scratches and belt buckle wear on the rear body side. Technically, however, there are no issues with this guitar; the hardware, the frets and the electronics are all 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.
