Description
Condition: This is a great sounding guitar with a phenomenal vintage look and feel! Scratches, nicks, dings, dents, chips and weather checking throughout the instrument all add to its character. Some of the finish has chipped off of the edges, mainly around the bottom exposing the bare wood. There are a few finish cracks throughout the finish. The finish and binding have acquired a gorgeous patina which gives the guitar an authentic vintage look. The metal parts have some blemishing and corrosion but work fine. The fingerboard and frets have moderate play wear with heavier play wear towards the lower registers. The neck has a slight warp in which the treble side has a slight hump towards the middle and the bass side has a little more relief. The neck is still very straight overall and comfortable to play. The truss rod does not have a huge range of motion but functions fine. There are some finish cracks in the headstock but these are only cosmetic. The input jack has been replaced and the original is included in the case. All electronics and parts are in perfect working condition.
Body: Double-bound single cutaway body with arched maple top, back and sides in sunburst finish. The top and back show some gorgeous flame figuring. The back in particular has more figuring and looks stunning!
