Condition Note

The guitar is in very good overall cosmetic condition. The front face of the instrument presents cleanly, displaying vibrant flame figuring under the Raspberry Tea Burst gloss with only light surface pick scuffs on the pickguard. The back of the body exhibits minor cosmetic playwear, including scattered light surface scratches consistent with normal handling. The headstock edges, bound neck carve, and fingerboard are free of cracks, chips, or structural repairs.

Electronics & Playability: All factory electronics and Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers are completely original, tested, and operate with zero crackle or drop-out through the CTS pots. The mahogany neck is straight, the dual-action truss rod functions smoothly, and the 22 frets show virtually no measurable wear. Freshly strung with D'Addario 10–46 strings and dialed in with medium-low action, the guitar offers effortless playability, crisp semi-hollow attack, and rich, singing sustain across the entire fingerboard.

Freshly restrung with D'Addario 10s, fully set up with medium-low action, bench-checked, complete with correct fitted Epiphone hard case, and ready to play.
