Pretty much brand new.  Been played a couple of times.  I love this travel guitar but I have large hands and the shorter scale doesn't work well for me.  I have three extra sets of the strings which will be included for free.  Comes with the OHSC.

This guitar is a very well made travel guitar.  The fit and finish is amazing.  The pickup is a PAF style that sounds very nice to my ears.  It's not some "normal" travel guitar that's poorly made for someone who doesn't know better and just wants some piece of garbage to carry with them in the car or for traveling.  This guitar was co-designed by Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top and is really a great little player.  

The only reason I'm parting with it is because my hands are pretty large and the short scale doesn't work well for me.  But if you have average size hands, have a youngster, if you're a student, want a guitar for traveling that actually sounds great, this may be a good fit for you.  It saddens me to part with it.

AIN'T NO BIG THING

The original travel guitar, the Chiquita's small enough to carry along anywhere, so you'll have a real guitar that sounds great wherever you go.

It's a fun guitar that's also a fine guitar. It has a Humbucking pickup and a quality tunable bridge for practice, composition, and (yes!) performance. Wherever you go, keep your chops up with a Chiquita! It's perfect for travel: a quality guitar that's about a foot shorter than a Strat.

Join other musicians including Joe Bonamassa, Johnny Winter, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Andy Summers, Paul McCartney (a left-handed bass version), Billy Gibbons, and Pat Metheny in discovering the small and mighty Chiquita Travel Guitar.
