Physical Condition
This guitar is in good condition, but has been played quite a bit and shows some wear. Most notably, this guitar is covered from top to bottom in light scratches, scuffs, swirl marks, and a few stray bumps and light dents. On the top of the body, most of the wear is focused on the areas above the pickups and around the control area, and there are a few bumps and dents on the top as well. The wear on the back is a bit more spread out, with the most of the wear being some scratches in the center of the body, some scratches near the control plate, and a handful of bumps and dents here and there as well. The pointed tips of the body are fairly clean, but do have a few scuffs and scratches. There are also some faint marks on the back of the neck, as well as some slight marks on the headstock left behind by a clip on tuner. There's also a bit of dust in the nooks and crannies of the bridge hardware and on the face of the headstock that could use a quick cleanup during the next restring, along with a bit of tarnishing and discoloration here and there on the hardware.

This guitar has also been modified quite a bit; the most in depth modification is that the guitar has been routed out for a battery compartment along the lower side near the control area. It doesn't seem as if this was professionally routed, but is a clean job. This guitar also had a large sticker applied to the top, and while it's removable, the sticker may leave behind a shadow, or potentially a bit of finish damage underneath. The pickguard has been slightly notched out around the bridge pickup as well. This guitar has also had it's original knobs (not included) changed out for white speed knobs. Otherwise, there is no other cosmetic damage to make note of aside from some marks and scratches associated with heavy play and use. Overall, this is a great sounding and playing guitar.

Fretwear
This guitar has some light wear on the first few frets. Plays great. Frets and fingerboard could use a quick cleanup during the next restring.

Action
Action is medium low and plays great, but may require a quick tweak to your liking.

Electronics
This guitar has had it's original pickups and wiring (not included) replaced with an EMG Retro Active Super 77 Humbucker Pickup Set. This guitar has also been wired as a Master Volume/Master Tone control layout, with a killswitch being placed where the original extra volume control would have been. All electronics work properly and sound great.

Case
Original Gibson hardshell case included.
