This guitar is in very good condition with minor cosmetic wear and a non functioning compressor circuit. The frets have noticeable wear and would benefit from fret work in the near future, the guitar has been setup by our techs as it is and it is playing well. All the electronics are original and working well with the exception of the built in compressor which doesn't function and looks to not be easily repairable. A padded gig bag is included with the guitar. 

From our research we believe this guitar to be from February of 1979 based on the serial number. This guitar has a weight of 9 lbs 2.5 oz
