This guitar has some signs of use throughout but overall this is a very clean guitar. The plastic protective film is still underneath the wooden bridge base. This is a super quirky instrument with a cool vibe that plays and sounds fantastic. The one volume and one tone control make this guitar very straightforward and easy to use. The neck profile is of the medium chunky variety and this guitar is set up extremely well. It's very easy and fun to play. The mini-humbuckers are killer in this guitar and offer a bright and thick tone. The three tone sunburst finish and checkerboard binding are attractive and this guitar is extremely well made.
