Condition Rating (70/100)

There are many scratches, dents, and other signs of wear throughout the guitar.

As this guitar is over 50 years old, it has accumulated the honest wear and battle scars you would expect from decades of use.

The neck is straight, and the truss rod is functional.
It becomes a little stiff when tightened, but I believe there is still a small amount of adjustment remaining in that direction.

(No fret buzzing)

It sounds and plays great with no issues.

Please check the photos for details.

Please check the video for sound samples and detailed condition.

I will pack the guitar very carefully to ensure safe shipping.

Please don't worry about shipping damage.

Please check my feedback from previous buyers.
