Frets are in great condition, no significant wear.

Sound and Playability
Dual P90's make for a great combination on the all mahogany body and neck. Lots of grit and sustain to the tone. World famous SlimTaper 60s neck make these a joy to play and this one plays solid all over the neck. All electronics are intact with no issues. No disappointments here--just a great guitar. Weight is a very trim 7 pounds, 3 ounces. Comes with black aftermarket hard case. Cherry on top is my detailed setup and bulletproof packing (read reviews to see the quality of my setups). Thanks!
Guitar Setup
Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, clean and oil fingerboard. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. We do a standard setup. Since setup is highly subjective you may want to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Thanks!
Packing
Search "How to Pack a Guitar + Hot Girls" on YouTube for a video showing how I pack. I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have been doing this 15 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. You can also read my packing blog post on my StillKickinMusic website. If you Google "Still Kickin - How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
