Neck shows a small ding on the bottom edge of the 1st fret but cannot be felt while playing and otherwise the neck is in great shape. Headstock shows some very light wear along the edge but is otherwise very clean. Fretboard is in excellent shape. Frets do show a fair amount of wear but does not have and issues with buzzing or dead spots. Hardware shows a light amount of age on the tuning machines but otherwise is all in great shape. Electronics work great and feature a set of custom wound DiMarzio humbuckers with a boatload of output for those classic hard rock tones. An incredible playing guitar and a must have for any EVH heads out there. And c'mon, that finish is incredible! Has been fully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home. Includes Ernie Ball branded gig bag.
