Condition & Tone:
This guitar plays and looks phenomenal. The top is incredibly clean with an intense, deep quilted figure that shifts under different lighting. The factory gold hardware shows elegant light aging.

The neck profile is comfortably round, and the frets show minimal wear with decades of play left in them.
