Neck is awesome; on the beefier side like a telecaster and is straight. Fretboard is slab board that has aged beautifully with plenty of fret life.
The hardware is nice as well with high quality metal knobs and tuners.
All electronics work as they should, and the truss rod turns normally as well. I do have the original tremolo, but do not have the spring so have secured it down since I don’t tend to use one.
As mentioned, an all around great guitar, but it does have some battle scars as follows:
I find the bridge pick up to be on the weaker side.
There was a crack in the body that has been filled and sealed, and some paint has chipped away (but sealed as well).
Some surface neck cracks in the finish, but not in the wood. Plenty of finish checking on both front and back of the body as well, and a smudge on the back where a sticker was once placed.
Pickguard has shrunk a bit as well.
Comes with original hard shell case as shown. Inside is in great condition with no rips, tears, or smells. Outside has only one latch that works.
The guitar has been inspected, assessed, and set-up by Middle Man Guitars in Charlotte in September of 2022.
