My now fiance got it on Reverb shortly after we got together, since I always wanted one from the time I was a teenager. She did it in secret, so she didn't have my eyes on it. Got it for a really cheap price though. The seller stated it was repainted, but in nearly mint condition. Knowing that from the picture you couldn't tell. The paint job was actually crap. Slapped it on, truly shameful to do that to this instrument. So a little disappointing. Recently took the pickguard off to check the wiring and say that he didn't sand it first and the original finish was intact. So with some nailpolish remover, microfiber rag and some love, we got all of it off and the body was flawless. Clear coat still 100% intact. The paint shell must of preserved it, because there's one dent, super small. I also flipped the cigar tube around and hardtailed it. The humbucker was switched by original owner, I have old Plays and sounds better than ever. This will stay with me for life. Still waters run deep.
