CONDITION:

Operationally, this guitar is in Excellent Condition. The electronics and hardware all work great. And the sound it produces is deep and resonant so I would rate that as being in Excellent Condition as well.

Cosmetically, it depends on your preference.

As compared to a new standard, I.e., not custom shop “relic’ed”, guitar, its cosmetic appearance is “Poor”. It shows its age of almost 50 years. The body has lots of dings, dents, scratches, gouges, scrapes, etc. The finish, every inch of it, shows signs of “checking”, cracking, wear, and tear. In other words, it is an EXCELLENT vintage relic finish. Look at the back of the neck, it is very checked. Hardware also shows signs of wear as shown in the photos included in this listing.

You, as the Buyer, must decide if this “aged” look, honestly earned by time and playing, is “Excellent” to you or “Poor”. As a player, it is a great sound machine.
