Is it mint, never-been-worked on, and shiny perfect? Nope! Is it a solid L-00 that looks cool and is ready for years of service? Certainly. Here's the scoop: Original finish everywhere, with no signs of overspray or touch-up. Original gears and pickguard. Bridge has been replaced with an ebony version shaped pretty much like the original. Has been refretted, frets are in great condition but the rosewood fingerboard still shows some finger dents behind the first three frets. No top cracks, but there is considerable chipping of the finish around the bridge. Back seam shows through the finish above the neck and tail block, but is not open. One long back crack, repaired and solid but obvious, as shown. Wear to the neck finish is also pictured. The bridge plate has been replaced with a larger version, and the bridge is low due to a shallow neck angle, but the guitar is very playable, with moderate action. If you want slinky action like a new Taylor this guitar would need a neck reset. The case is a newish TKL with green lining.
