WORKING CONDITION: Excellent. This is a BEAST of a guitar. The action is low, yet still plays without string buzzing. The tuning is stable, and the pickups sound absolutely huge. The active preamp adds a generous amount of gain, suitable for lighting up the might sky with judicious metal mayhem.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent. There is a slight amount of time-related oxidation on the gold-plated tuners and string-through "V" behind the bridge. It wasn't until after we took photos that we were able to clean the V bridge area with some Q-Tips, and it shined up nicely. So it will look better in person than the pics. Other than that, this guitar is in near-mint condition.
