You can tell it's been played, which adds to the mojo. Laquer is fading from where it's been played, has its fair share of dings and scratches, but frets are suprisingly pretty great condition. Doesn't buzz and is straight. Wondered what the hype behind the T-tops were but they are well deserved, cleans up amazing and the sound has so much clarity no matter how much drive or distortion it has.

Thank you for looking!
