Probably the cleanest 00-18 we've had in ages, and despite the gleaming finish rest assured that this one is 100% original. There are a few scars to the side of the headstock (probably from sloppy use of a peg winder), and very minor button marks on the back, but that's it. No fret wear, no pick scratches, etc. No repair work has ever been done, except lowering the action at the saddle. The action is moderate, and the original ivory saddle is quite low, so if you want slinky action a neck reset would be required, for which we'll quote a special low price. However, considering the remarkable originality of this guitar, and the fact that it plays quite well as is, we felt the decision "to reset or not to reset" should be left to the new owner.
