There is a repair mark from a crack near the right joint.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 3461\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Soft case\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: Note: Tested up to 60 degrees in both directions with no issues (limited remaining adjustment)\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wear: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playing\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 24-4\/5\"\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at Setup: D'Addario EJ-16 \/ .012-.053 set\u003cbr\u003e \nRepairs\/Maintenance: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, string height adjustment, repair of peeling fingerboard on high frets, filling of bridge lift, neck angle adjustment (shims), fret leveling\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \n* As this is a used item, there may be scratches, dents, and other imperfections that are not visible in the photos or not listed here.
