Questions that I have been asked.
1. It is Original finish on the guitar
2. Neck is straight, no buzzing
3. No issues with the electronics
4. I never did take the pickups out so I don’t have photos of the backs of the pickups
5. I do know the history of the guitar. I bought it from Guitar Center in Las Vegas when a friend of mine was managing the store. A younger man brought the guitar into the store to sell it. It was his father‘s guitar and the man had passed, and the son did not play guitar so he sold it for the cash. I’m not sure exactly how many years the Guitar was in Las Vegas.
6. No fret buzz last time it was inspected and played (October 2023)
7. It was professionally set up about 10 years ago.
8. I do not have the original case key
9. No original paperwork or hang tags is with the guitar
It would be best if you could play the guitar first. For a guitar of this age and price, I want you to be 100% satisfied with it. I do plan on doing a black light video and posting it so you can see the wood grain and structure and also see there isn’t any hidden damage. Feel free to text message me here on Reverb to schedule an appointment with me to play this Guitar!
