EXCELLENT. This guitar looks simply stunning, with its exceptionally beautiful flamed top. It has only some minor playwear, all very light and of no practical importance, all of a surface nature, most of it on the rear body side (not visible from the front). Technically, the guitar is in top shape. The electronics and the hardware work fine, the frets 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.
