This thing is basically new. Bought it a few months ago because I thought I should have a more "modern" guitar. (I mostly have Fenders and Gibsons.) It's a beautiful instrument. Plays great and sounds excellent. Never been gigged. I've only even played it half a dozen times. Only issue is the ding on the neck on the low-E side of the neck, just about even with the third fret. I've included several pictures. If not for this, I'd definitely call it excellent, if not mint.
