Condition

I would rate this guitar a 9.5/10. It is exceptionally clean with only a few small dings, with no cracks, repairs, or structural issues. The neck is straight and stable, the original frets show no wear, and the guitar has been recently professionally set up so it plays great with no buzzing or dead spots.

Please review all photos carefully for the most accurate representation of condition.
