Summary

Finish: The body and neck has been over-sprayed. At some point, a floating pickup has placed in between the bridge and neck humbuckers. Because of this, the finish was effected and drop fill was used to cover the wear spots leaving two convex circles between the pickups. In addition to this, because of a neck reset, the finish in and around the neck pocket was buffed and has aged differently causing minor discoloration.

Cosmetic Condition: Guitar is in good cosmetic condition with considerable wear. There are dings, dents, scratches, and checking throughout. The guitar has been completely over-sprayed and drop fill has been applied in between the humbuckers from a previous modification. There is discoloration in and around the neck pocket where the finish was buffed from a neck reset. Because of the process that was used to refret this particular guitar, parts of the binding in line with the frets were sawed through. Due to this technique, a hardened plastic was used to fill those slots in the binding.
