This guitar is in overall very good condition with some visible signs of play. Its had a refin at some point in its life with lacquer and It's had a refret /new bone nut at some point in its life as well. The head stock/neck shows some stress signs and we believe its likely had a headstock repair with this combination of signs. The rear of headstock/neck has some lacquer touch ups after its refin And one one edge touchup that does not appear to be lacquer, It has some finish splits, light scratches and a few dings/ dents. The gold is worn mostly away from the hardware to raw and has oxidation. The pickguard is slightly warped. The necks binding has shrinkage splits along some of the side markers. (See Pics)
