These are cosmetic only and do not affect the function or playability of the instrument.Overall, the guitar still presents very nicely and retains the distinctive original Traveling Wilburys graphics that make these guitars immediately recognizable.The original gig bag is not included. The guitar will ship with a standard-size aftermarket gig bag.About This ModelThe Gretsch TW-100T was produced in connection with the Traveling Wilburys, the legendary supergroup featuring George Harrison, Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison, Tom Petty, and Jeff Lynne.Produced around the late 1980s and beginning of the 1990s, these guitars are instantly recognizable for their unusual body shape and distinctive Traveling Wilburys graphics.Rather than being positioned as one of Gretsch's traditional high-end hollow or semi-hollow instruments, the TW series was an affordable and fun tie-in to one of the era's most remarkable musical collaborations.Today, the appeal of these guitars extends beyond their original novelty. Surviving examples have become interesting pieces of Traveling Wilburys, Gretsch, and late-'80s music memorabilia, while still remaining playable instruments.The bold original graphics are a huge part of the personality of the TW-100T and make it a particularly fun guitar for a collection, music room, studio, or display.Condition:UsedGood, clean cosmetic condition for its ageGood playing conditionLight scratches and scuffs on bodyLight cosmetic wear on neckVery light finish cracks/checking around neck heelNeck-heel cracks are confined to the finish and do not extend into the woodNo structural issue at neck heelMore noticeable finish nicks on back of headstockHeadstock wear is cosmetic onlyOriginal graphics remain intactPlease review photos closely for overall conditionDetails:Brand: GretschModel: TW-100TTraveling Wilburys SeriesEra: 1987–1990Finish: White / GraphicDistinctive Traveling Wilburys graphicsVintage late-'80s / early-'90s productionIncluded:Gretsch TW-100T Traveling Wilburys guitarStandard-size aftermarket gig bagNot Included:Original Traveling Wilburys gig bagAny additional accessories not picturedThis is a cool surviving example of one of the more unusual guitars associated with the Traveling Wilburys era.
