Vintage Yamahas are typically high quality guitars that sound amazing, and this one is no exception. This guitar wasn't played by Jerry Garcia (probably), but it's quite similar to the model that he played in a few shows back in the 80's.

I'm marking the condition as Excellent since there's a tiny knick on the bottom (see the picture) but everything beyond that looks Mint to me. All the electronics function perfectly. The 3 single coil rails pickups can be toggled in any combination by the switches on the body, and there's a push pull tone knob that sounds like it boosts the treble.

I'm selling this as-described, so please make sure to ask any questions beforehand, and I'm happy to share more info. Thanks a lot for looking!
