WORKING CONDITION: Very Good - Plays amazing. This is a very well-made, hand-crafted instrument. The action is really nice throughout the neck and a joy to play. All of the controls and interchangeable pickups are working properly. Tonally this guitar sounds incredible as well. However, the volume knob is a bit scratchy when turning it, even after being exercised. In all, everything is fully functional and in very good working condition. 

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent - This guitar comes equipped with interchangeable pickups. There are some minor abrasions around the body of the guitar. One of the neck screws is missing. See pics. Otherwise, everything is expertly crafted, well-kept, and perfectly intact. The overall physical condition is excellent.
