ITEM CONDITION
All machinery, electrical, and pickups are without issue. Some very light surface marks, some very small impressions/dings/dimples, NO major paint chips, very light aging to chrome, some micro movement between the plastic binding/maple/rosewood (NOT cracking or splitting, just normal shrinkage between the 3 different materials, like most bound necks) - as pictured.
