What can I say about this guitar that nobody already knows.... I can say that it has been well cared for, stayed in my home studio, no scratches or dings, never been touched by a belt buckle. I decided to leave the decal in place, it can be removed with a simple damp sponge. I have never waxed it, just kept it wiped down with non abrasive dry cotton cloth. The pick guard is original, I did not wish to scuff up the original so I covered it, this too could be removed if you wished. I have the original truss cover plate as well. This is a 2013 model.
