Good condition includes items that are in fine working order, but have significant cosmetic imperfections. The bass has scratches and dents on its back, a small dent in the binding but it's still playable and fully functional.
All the imperfections have been pictured.
In terms of physical construction, the Höfner Ignition Series is much closer to Paul McCartney’s high-end German-made Höfners than the mid-tier Contemporary (HCT) series or many competing copies because it features a fully hollow body with no center block.
