ITEM CONDITION
All machinery, electrical, and pickups are without issue. Some very light surface marks and scuffing, some very small impressions/dings/dimples/dents, one more prominent dent near pickguard body edge, light aging and tarnish to machinery, the neck edges have had some paint finish cracking and chips near the binding edge (fairly common of a guitar of this age) and a few tiny binding cracks reglued and buffed flush (only a cosmetic note, nothing structural with the neck) - as pictured.
