Cosmetics: Overall this guitar is in very good shape but there are a few imperfections that I found while holding the guitar up close. There are a few small dings – one particular ding on the top and a few on the back. These dings are hard to spot in photos….. The headstock shows some visible wear with some light scratches & a small scratch on the back of the headstock.
