Great guitar, just not getting used, I prefer my Musicman guitars.
It has some wear and tear from its previous owner who must have worn bracelets because there are indents / scrapes into the body (I tried to capture this in the pictures).
It has been refretted recently (nickel frets not stainless steel), there is some chip out on the phenowood fretboard due to the refret (I tried to demonstrate the worst of this in the pictures). The chip out was repaired but someone could clean this up quite easily and make it look much tidier. There is also some whitening of the lacquer on the side of the fretboard (also tried to capture this in the photos)
All in all the guitars issues are cosmetic, it plays lovely with 10s, there's a slight relief (depends on string gauge). Sound wise this guitar has the clearest sounding pick ups of all my guitars (Mainly MM Luke's and silhouettes). Nice slim comfortable neck.
Besides the refret, it's all original (includes original hardcase not pictured).
I'm pricing this according to its condition and will look at reasonable offers, but obviously let's not forget what these retail at.
