We recently purchased a couple fists full of import guitars like this AXL AL-820-WO Badwater Single Cut Distressed Blonde Les Paul.
The guitar is in excellent condition. The most notable sign of wear is a couple of spots where the finish pushed around while hanging on a guitar hanger (see pics).
There is even, light fret pitting up to about the 10th fret, but the frets are very full and have years of life left before they'll need work.
It is a very playable guitar, especially considering the price. It would be a great platform for customization.
