This guitar has had a rough life from it's appearance and needs someone to love and treat it right. It shows lots of cosmetic flaws, including scratches, nicks and gouges, however it's still a nice players guitar for someone who doesn't mind (or embraces) the tattered look. The bridge does have a crack along the middle (see close-up). The open-back machine heads do exhibit some sympathetic buzz if you leave play in them. One of the tuners has non-stock screws holding it in place. This guitar holds tuning and has a decent set of strings on it.

Please carefully review pictures of the actual instrument for details about its condition. Michigan residents are required to pay 6% sales tax.
