I know NOTHING about guitars except what I just seen/read on Google. (I think they look cool & Eddie can make them sing' like nobody else!!) ~~~ PLEASE ENLARGE & LOOK CLOSE AT ALL PHOTOS FOR ACTUAL CONDITION & IF ACTUAL ALL ORIGINAL PARTS? ~~~"UPDATE"  - I just tested the guitar an hour ago, it works/plays/sounds good with no issues*. And the 4 volume/tone knobs & pickup switch work fine.   *using only the 2 strings on the guitar
GUITAR ONLY, NO CASE INCLUDED.
-The Walnut/brown wood has many scratches/nicks/chips, especially on backside from a belt buckle I'm guessing & chip on the bottom edge below the control knobs.
-The Ebony wood on fretboard looks to me to be in minty' condition IMHO.
-The frets don't look like they have much if any wear.
-All Chrome parts are clean & shiny.
-The output jack, the 4 nice & clear volume/tone knobs & 6 Chrome tuning pegs are solid with no wobble/not loose... and they all spin smooth.
-I looked for and do not see any cracks or separation in the wood anywhere :)
-The nut is nice with no cracks, pick guard has no cracks with only faint scratches, everything is tight/solid. -Looking from many angles, the neck looks to be straight with no warping/bends/twisting.
-No extra holes drilled or modifications that I can tell.... *IMHO it has ALL ORIGINAL PARTS**only my OPINION... NOT a fact. But I did a Google image search, comparing mine to photos of other late 81's & 82' models- It only has 2 strings installed, the #6 saddle is missing from the bridge, and 1 screw missing from pick guard.

Not sure what other details are important to mention? Again I know NOTHING about guitars except what I seen/read online using Google' I traded this with a neighbor for my GT mountain bike around 10-15 years ago, as he needed a bike & I no longer rode it, and I thought this guitar looked cool as a piece of art!! PLEASE ask ANY / ALL questions BEFORE you buy... please & thank you!! ~~~ HANDLING FEE ADDED TO COVER THE POSTAL INSURANCE COST... Shipped USPS with tracking number, label printed through eBay ~~~
