ABSOLUTELY LIKE NEW. The guitar has been barely played and is in a pristine condition. It has only some light surface scratches on the rear tremolo cavity plastic cover (which can be replaced at an insignificant expense). Apart from that, there is no way to tell this guitar from a brand new one. Technically, there are no issues with the instrument either. The hardware, the electronics and the frets are flawless. 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.
