Condition Report:

This guitar is presented in good overall condition, with some marks and bumps as you would come to expect with a guitar of this age. Over the last 40 years, the guitar has seen minimal use with the previous owner, and has been kept in its original Lifton hardcase. The guitar suffered a small neck break early in its life, and was professionally repaired and has remained strong ever since. The top was also refinished many years ago, with the finish now showing many signs of checking you would come to expect. The chunky '57 neck profile was shaved many years ago, into a more comfortable '59-style profile. The guitar was also refretted and shows approximately 80% of life remaining in the current frets. The original Lifton hardcase which is included with the guitar is in good overall condition, and all latches function as you would expect.

What's Included:
