I bought this new in about 1989 when I was in a high school jazz band. It has not seen much play since (or even then). I pull it out every so often when I get a jazz bug. It holds its tune and plays well. The gold hardware has some tarnish but otherwise the guitar is in great condition. The pots can be scratchy but work. The original case has some scratches and tears and the gold hardware on the case is more tarnished. I took off the pickguard a few years ago but reinstalled it for one of the photos here. The body is lighter in color than shown in most of the images. The image in the case and with the pickguard is probably closest to the actual color. I am happy to demo it over facetime or answer any questions.
