Needs some work, but will be an awesome acoustic electric after some TLC! There's lots of evidence that a neck reset was done on this guitar at some point, the nut and bridge saddle have also been worked on a bit, and I think its time for them to be replaced. There's a but of buzy-nes going on which sounds like its coming from the bridge. The saddle has been sanded so low that the string almost touch the wood, so I'm thinking that is the root of the problem. 

Long story short, you should just need to replace the saddle, and maybe the nut while you're at it.

Cosmetically this guitar definitely shows some wear, as I said before there's lots of evidence of a neck reset being done, but the guitar also shows some normal cosmetic wear such as some small scratches, dents, blems, ect.

The electronics are active with an EQ and work great. I will note their output is fairly low, but with a loud amp with plenty of headroom, the guitar sounds great!

The bridge pin for the high E string was replaced at some point, but is a proper match. 

Frets do show wear but are still very playable with life left.

With some basic work, this should be an awesome acoustic electric! It is still playable and sounds great in its current state, but would greatly benefit from doing some work on it.

The previous owner sharpied out something on the paper with the info on it, but the serial, model, ect are still very readable.

These where manufactured in the mid 90s, I'm thinking this one is from 1996 based on the first digit of the serial.

Sold as-is, no returns on this one, buyer amuses risk on condition, and work needed, this is well factored into the price.

Please see pictures for exact condition and details.

If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks for looking!
