Very good shape overall. I've camouflaged several small shallow scratches with a black marker, which works well on black guitars. At certain angles they just look like a little smudge (close-ups of the black are meant to highlight those angles so I'm not hiding anything from the customer, not normally even that obvious), but the guitar overall looks great at a glance. There are some blue and red smudges around the edge of the rather nicely aged-looking pickguard, but again, looks great at a glance. Plays good, sounds good, a little bit of single coil background noise like any strat. Does early Knopfler to SRV sounds with aplomb. Tremolo holds tune for light warbles but obviously isn't made for dive bombs. Great guitar for beginner to intermediate, or platform for upgrades.

No international sales. Guitar is sold as described; returns only for not as described.
