Cosmetics: This guitar was definitely someone’s main gigging guitar for some time based on the wear- and it should be, this is a fantastic player! There is plenty of wear through the finish on the back exposing the alder body underneath, wear around the edges, plenty of pickwear on the top, lots of shallow dings and dents around the body and some hairline cracks in the binding around the fret ends. The playing surface of the neck is almost entirely blemish free and feels excellent! The ends of frets 4-7 have been worn down and rounded over which gives them a different look than the rest of the frets but it doesn’t impeded playability at all. The frets themselves are in excellent shape with tons of life left in them.

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 have plenty of life left in them with no major grooves or divots from use (besides the rounded over ends of frets 4-7) and it plays beautifully up and down the fingerboard with no dead spots or choking out.
