Condition:

This is a well-loved, played-in guitar — not a museum piece. It has honest wear: finish thinning/wear on the body where it's been held and played over the years, battery after market added , some finish checking and minor patina on hardware. There are no cracks, breaks, repairs or structural damage — just the kind of natural patina that comes with decades of being played. The neck is straight and it sounds fantastic.

Hence why lower price.

A proper USA Fender with genuine character — ready to play and enjoy.
