Condition
This guitar is vintage and shows honest wear consistent with its age. Expect visible dings, finish wear, scratches, and general signs of decades of use. Hardware and electronics function as they should, but this is not a mint collector’s piece—it’s a played, seasoned instrument with real character. Frets and components show age-appropriate wear.
