After much searching and researching I picked this up today. I think someone had bought and considered playing it but didn't. Or a ticked off spouse pawned it!!...It is so new looking that even the inventory tag was still on it!...There is absolutely no wear on the frets or muck on the finger board at all!..Even the plastic protector was still on the pick guard and peeled off easily!...The best part is I have seen these go between $300 to $400 new and $250 and up or so for used... they where asking $150 but I got it for $135 and it sounds great!!! IT's got the low end fullness that I have been missing on my other guitars, It's like a whole new world!...Don't over look your local pawn shop for deals on gear!...
