This guitar is in fantastic condition. It has normal wear for a 2016 guitar. As you can see also in the pocket for the neck there is no cracking in the paint. It has brand new strings and professionally set up by Scott Weis (Scott Wies band, Robert Plant, Joe Cocker etc) Blues Hall of Fame guitarist. He also played this guitar for about 20 minutes and commented about how this is such a nice a guitar. The point is it was set up by one of the best and will be ready to play right out of the box. The only change you will possibly want will be your own preference for string height.

The flaws I found are pictured. There are very few blemishes all of which are small, and a small blemish in the neck as show in the picture. I tried to use my finger as an indicator to show how small it is. This guitar’s description is between excellent and near mint. The case has normal wear and tear as shown in the pictures. The listing shows the serial number on the chrome neck plate for you to look it up. I have also included in the pictures Ernie Ball Music Man’s website information for this guitar which is what you will confirm when you look up the serial number.

The last comment. These pickups are awesome. I have used this guitar to play hard rock as well as blues. You can get a number of different tones from this guitar.
