I purchased this guitar used. There are two spots where the paint is chipped on the back of the neck, as it was when I bought it. These are on the back, between the 5th and 10th frets. There are also traces of a sticker on the back panel, so please check the photos. The controls are: Coil tap switch HI-LO switching via the tone tap. The neck has a slight forward bow, and the truss rod has not been adjusted since I purchased it. The strings are 09-42. Action is set at 1.75mm for both the 6th and 1st strings at the 12th fret. I don't feel any noticeable buzzing or dead spots. The frets have about 70-80% life remaining. Includes the guitar, tremolo arm, and a non-original soft case. It will be packed and shipped in a guitar-sized cardboard box.
