Here and there, there are some minor blemishes (the pick guard wasn't put on perfectly around the hole, some of the laquer on the side of the neck is thicker than in other areas, some of the frets have slight oxidation, and the neck is not the cleanest of woods) but seriously, what can you expect out of a...Read more
