This item was returned in great condition. It looks and plays like new, with only minor signs of use (slight scuffs, etc.). Created by Dave Friedman and Grover Jackson, the Friedman Metro D is a sophisticated take on the classic single-cutaway set-neck guitar. Combining balance and beauty with extraordinary playability, the Metro D is made from woods hand selected by Jackson and features custom pickups from Friedman's shop, that provide classic "PAF"-style tones with a modern edge. The guitar comes with a custom G&G hard case and a certificate of authenticity signed by both Friedman and Jackson. This classic-in-the-making will certainly be one for the ages.
