Description
Condition: This guitar plays and sounds awesome! There is a large chip/ding on the bottom edge due to impact and a few larger dings and scratches throughout the lower bass and treble side bouts. There are plenty of scratches throughout the top and some heavy scratches, scuffs, dings and buckle rash on the back. There are some heavier scratches along the sides of the bridge from the bridge sliding around. A part of the bridge pickup cover is bent upward as a result of the pickup screw being over-tightened. This does not affect the sound or playability in any way. Some of the metal parts have light blemishing. Fingerboard and frets have moderate play wear with heavier play wear in the frets towards the lower registers. There are a few dings throughout the neck. The neck is very straight and the truss rod functions fine. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
