All original, original owner (I bought this new at Manny's in NY the month after it was made), non-smoking home, rarely taken out. Looks new, plays superbly, incredibly versatile. A beautiful, silky-feeling instrument.
It may be an oldie, but hasn't been played all that much, & the frets feel great. And for whatever reason, this guitar has improved with age more noticeably than any guitar I've had in over 45 years of playing - in tone, sustain & most of all in feel.
For those who pine for non-Feiten tuning, no SS frets, the old neck joint, here you go! I'm only thinking of letting this go because I just can't get with a Floyd Rose (though it took 17 years for me to do something about it because I love the axe!)
