ALMOST LIKE NEW. The guitar obviously has been not much played and well kept. It has remained in an excellent condition. Apart from some light body surface scratches from playing (mostly in the area just below the pickups, see pictures) - barely visible on a natural oil finish anyway - there is no other obvious playwear on this instrument. There are no technical issues whatsoever. The guitar is a pleasure to hold and plays just perfectly. Moreover, the instrument has been thoroughly checked and completely set up in our workshop.

Furthermore, we offer installation of active boost and EQ circuits like EMG Afterburner, PA-2, SPC, RPC, VMC, EXG etc. Please ask for details if interested.
