It's like brand new except the previous owner (whom I assume, never played it) cos it's like brand new, no wear on frets at all, but what did do was begin sanding it, my guess is they wanted to have it raw instead of painted, but they did not complete the sanding job, has no effect on the sound or structural integrity of this guitar . There are four knobs to adjust for the specific sound you want, as well as a toggle switch , all original from Gibson (minus the unfinished sanding job) no case . $1000 obo don't even think about low balling me because it's not painted, it's like brand new aside from that.
