I am the original owner, it is unplayed and still in like new condition.
The only thing I noticed is a superficial pin-sized impression at the back (lower bout) of the guitar, please checkout the last picture of this listing. It was there when I received it and is impossible to see unless you look real hard for it.
It comes with all original accessories/COA, and the protective film is still on the pickguard.
This is without much of a doubt the most playable and resonant electric guitar I have ever owned.
The neck is quartersawn which certainly contributes to the added resonance, as well as stability of the neck.
Speaking of the neck, the setup and finish from Todd Krause is absolutely flawless: edges are very highly rolled and frets are perfectly dressed and polished.
Here are the complete specs:

Shipping: I will ship via FedEx Ground or UPS Ground with signature confirmation and insurance for the full amount. If you wonder why shipping cost may be high realize that insurance alone will cost about $42 given the price of this instrument ($0.95 per $100 of insurance). As usual I only charge actual shipping cost. If shipping cost is less than estimated by eBay I will reimburse the difference, and if it's more I'll cover the extra charge at no cost to you.
