This guitar is overall in a very good condition. There are only a few minor bumps and dings. There is a small bump on the front of the body near the back pointy bit. There’s a few very small dings on the headstock. There's a very tiny surface crack at the heel which is very difficult to see. On the inside of the neck pocket on the bottom side there is a little bit of unfinished wood that can be seen slightly. There are some minor scratches on the back of the neck behind the 10th fret which can be felt but do not impact playability at all. The frets are in great condition, there are signs of wear but no denting, there is plenty of life left in them. The action at the 12th fret is just under 2mm which could be brought down fairly easily. The guitar has had a minor neck-body realignment which has been professionally fixed by Black Guitars. The guitar doesn’t seem to have had any previous work done prior to this. The guitar has its original tremolo arm and comes with its original gig bag.
