EXCELLENT. The guitar has some playwear on the body and the headstock, however, all of a surface character, in the clearcoat only, and mostly on the rear body side. The beautiful sparkle finish on the front is all intact. Also, some wear on the output jack. Technically, there are no issues with the instrument. The frets have 95% life left, the hardware and the electronics function 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.
