I purchased this last year, but I'm selling it because I haven't had a chance to use it. There is no crackling in the pots or knobs. I've lost the truss rod wrench, so I'm not sure about the truss rod, but I haven't adjusted it, so I think there's plenty of room. String height (amateur measurement): approximately 2.1mm on the 6th string side and 1.9mm on the 1st string side. Frets are about 90% remaining. The neck is straight to slightly forward bowed. Currently strung with Elixir 10-46 strings, but the strings are rusty and need to be replaced. Please make any other adjustments associated with string replacement yourself. As shown in the photos, there is a dent near the front pickup. There are other minor scratches, but overall it's in good condition. Please understand that this is a used item. Included accessories: Non-genuine soft case only. I will pack the non-genuine soft case with air padding for shipping.
