EXCELLENT. This guitar is in fantastic shape, considering its age. It looks beautiful, with only light surface playwear such as microscopic impressions in the clearcoat of the finish and hairline scratches, mostly on the body back. Technically, the guitar is flawless and has no issues whatsoever. The hardware and electronics are fine, the frets are in new condition. 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.
- The signature model, developed after exact specifications by Eddie Van Halen, with excellent tone and unbelievably ergonomic handling. A top professional instrument and a rare and very sought after collector's item. This model has been discontinued in 1995 and the existing instruments appear on sale now very rarely, especially in good condition.
