This guitar is in overall very good condition. There are light surface marks and small dings throughout. The finish has aged unevenly and is more of a faint buttery yellow in some spots. There is a finish chip on the tip of the headstock. There is a small finish split under the low E tuning machine. There are two small finish chips on the treble side of the neck near the 7th fret. The gold plating on most of the hardware has wear/oxidization and there is some light patina on the pickup switches. (See Pics)
