Purchased this item new about 30 years ago when it was in a musical instrument store. There is rust and scratches. As this is a guitar from about 30 years ago, we cannot guarantee any defects. Please only purchase if you can make a decision based on the photos. I will add more photos. I have confirmed that sound can be produced in its current state. There is some crackling noise, but it's not severe. The nut and jack cover are not original parts. The cracked nut was removed by a professional guitar repairer. There was no suitable size available at the time, so a modified part has been temporarily attached. It plays normally, but it is not glued. There are no major problems as far as an amateur can tell. No claims and no returns accepted.
