ITEM CONDITION
All machinery, electrical, and pickups are without issue. Some light surface marks and scratching, some small impressions/dings/dimples/dents, light aging and tarnish to chrome, there has been a paint chip on the body edge that has been colour filled and buffed flush (it is not a 100% invisible repair, but a very close colour match and does not stand out until you look for it) - as pictured.
