This guitar was purchased about 10 years ago. It's almost unused, but it fell from the guitar stand and has a scratch on the back of the neck. Sound check OK. I'll include a new Duncan "STAG MAG" pickup that I bought intending to install. James Hetfield of early Metallica used the STAG MAG. Before he used EMGs, it's said that he used this pickup to get that forced, distorted, high-pitched sound on albums like Kill 'Em All! Just some trivia (lol). Includes a hard case.
