2018 Ernie Ball Music Man Ball Family Reserve Cutlass SSS is in very good condition with normal use. This is number 40 of 49 made. Malibu gold finish has some light scratches and small dings here and there but nothing major. Gold hardware also has some oxidation and plating loss the worst of which I’ve tried to show in photos. The guitar plays well and sounds good. The neck is straight and the frets are fine. Just recently had a professional fret dressing and neck shim added for better playability. Comes with original case, COA & candy as shown. Case has a small gap, but still offers plenty of protection. Please see photos for condition. Weighs 7 pounds 2.6 ounces.
