EXCELLENT. The guitar is nearly 20 years old, and has been played but taken very good care of. Therefore, the condition of this instrument is simply unbelievable for its age. There are no issues with the guitar, apart from some unavoidable minimal playwear in the clearcoat. Technically, the guitar is flawless. The frets have ca. 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.
