*This is a used guitar in very good condition
*This is a consignment item
*Includes original hard shell case

*Observations: This guitar is in very good condition, especially for being just a few years off of its 50th birthday. It has considerable play wear---scuffs, scratches and small dings in all the expected areas, along with a few larger scrapes, scratches and dents here and there. The chrome hardware has pitted significantly, particularly on the bridge plate. The frets have worn fairly low but playability is still decent, although some bent notes choke out a bit in the highest registers, as is common on 7.25" radius guitars with smaller frets. The B-string ferrule on the back of the guitar has been replaced with a mis-matched one, and the bridge saddles have been replaced with Graph Tech saddles but everything else, including the pickups and electronics, appears to original and in working order. The original hard shell case is included, completing a fun time capsule of twangy 70s Fullerton goodness.
