This guitar is a beauty! No she is not ready to be played above the 12th fret she has high frets up there. It has finish checks thought the body. Dings here and there but is very structurally sound. The P 90 soap plays but the volume and the tone knob has scratchy in them, but that pickup has some sweet sounds to kick out. Its in a fun state of fix up. Nothing hard, just not ready fully to go just yet. For the price, you just won't go wrong! Shipping and handling is actual cost and it must be worked out with UPS store in Salina Kansas for packing and handling cost. Im not want or willing to pack this myself.
