*Condition*

We consider this guitar to be in good playable condition, and in fair cosmetic condition. Recently given a full professional setup by our luthier, Dave Fecca of Moorestown, NJ. It’s a rock solid player, but as you can see, she has noticeable cosmetic defects and a shit ton of character from play wear. The front of the body has some light dings, and two noticeable scratches underneath the bridge. Noticeable ding to the left of the fret board. Ding on the bottom of the body, and to the right of the control knobs. Paint chipping around the edges of the body, some noticeable dings around the sides. a few dings around the headstock, as well as the top. Back side shows a lot of vertical weather checking and scratches. Rear black plastic control cavity cover has been replaced w a hand cut new cover by our luthier. Please closely inspect all photos. Good guitar that has been around the block and still has plenty of stories to tell! A natural relic.
