WORKING CONDITION: Excellent. The action on this guitar is low with no fret buzz. The fretwork is solid, the intonation is easily adjustable, and all of the switching and electronics are in top condition. 

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent. This is a gorgeous guitar that has been well-preserved for the past 47 years. There is some oxidation and marks on some of the gold metal parts (see photos), but the wood and finish are exceptionally clean with only a few light surface scratches on the back of the guitar.
