Cosmetics: This vintage guitar has been played but it has been well cared taken cared for and it was made to last for years to come. There are signs of pick scratching, several descent sized dings on the body, some signs of checking in the finish in several places. One of the big knobs is cracked and broken off in a few places, but it is still working the way it is. The fingerboard has lots of wear around the edges. The frets have plenty of life left but there are some divots on the first 3 or 4 frets and you can tell it has been played a lot. There is also a ding on the back of the headstock.

Playability: Our in-house guitar tech has just inspected, setup and restrung this guitar with a new set of 10s. The neck is straight, the truss rod is fully functioning and the action has been setup low and comfortable. The frets are in good shape and it plays beautifully up and down the fingerboard with no dead spots or choking out.
