This instrument will be a life-long companion if treated well. For price to quality ratio, it is my opinion there is nothing better.There may be some subtle scratchiness throughout the electronics. The pickup selector switch is intermittent, especially when selecting the neck pickup. It requires some light additional force to make correct contact and engage the pickup. The switch appears original, so I will not replace it without your (the buyer's) permission. The switch can be cleaned and repaired, but I was unable to open the housing to reach the contacts. The pots have been replaced with CTS. The caps also appear to be unoriginal.There are visual imperfections across the instrument's finish - wear on the fingerboard, scratches on the pickguard, dust, dirt, scratches, checking, knicks, dings, marks, and dents on the finish throughout. Please see pictures for details.There is some minor pitting/flattening/play wear on the frets. This is most noticeable between frets 1 and 12.Please do not purchase this instrument if you are seeking perfection.I have done my best to capture the instrument and any visual imperfections accurately - if you are concerned with condition and want to see more photos - please reach out to me before purchasing and I will be happy to send them your way.A non-original soft shell case will be included.
