Body Condition: There are a few minor scratches on the body. Some pick swirl/scratches can be seen when held up to the light, but there are no major or noticeable dings.

Neck Condition: There is a minor ding on the back of the neck, but it does not affect playability at all.

Fretboard Condition: There are slight indentations on the edge of the fretboard, but they do not affect playability at all.

Neck & Fret Condition:
The neck is beautifully straight. The truss rod has been checked for full functionality, and the neck is currently set to a near-flat, perfect setup. The frets measure approximately 2.0mm in width and 1.4mm in height. They show only minimal wear, maintaining about 98% of their life remaining.

Setup & Playability:
The guitar is currently strung with Elixir Nanoweb (.009-.042) strings. The action is perfectly set at 2.0mm on the 6th string and 1.6mm on the 1st string at the 12th fret. While picking dynamics vary by player, there is no noticeable fret buzz, offering an incredibly playable, perfect "player's condition."

Strap Buttons: Equipped with Schaller locking strap buttons.
Please note: The strap-side locks are not included. You will need to use your own or purchase them separately to fully utilize the secure locking function.
