the guitar is set up perfect. there is just afew laquer cracks on the body from age, slight wear from use just around the rim of the sound hole, but the pickguard has hardly no scratches at all. i am really impressed with the neck the light maple fingerboard with the mother of pearl inlays,really stands out and the neck is straight as a board,outstanding.
