VERY GOOD. This guitar has seen its share of playing and, unfortunately, has plenty of surface scratches and playwear, albeit all only superficial, and mostly on the rear body side. Due to the wear, the high gloss finish appears slightly dull in places. Also, there is a slight impression at the upper edge of the fretboard, at the 2nd fret. It does not affect the playing in any way. Apart from that, and the pick scratches on the pickguard, there are no cosmetic issues with the instrument, no dents, chips or cracks. Technically, the guitar is all 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. The hardcase shows some wear as well, however, needless to say, it is fully functional.
