WORKING CONDITION: Very Good. The guitar plays well with medium-low action and no fret buzz. The pickups and electronics operate as they should, and the truss rod moves accurately in both directions. The frets have been polished, and the guitar is intonated for .010-.046 gauge electric strings.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Very Good. There is some oxidation on the pickup pole pieces and screws, and the saddles show some wear from use and handling. The body and neck are in very good condition, with only light signs of being used over the years. Overall, this guitar is in very good physical condition.
