This is a high-quality, domestically-made Joe Pass model. Before listing, it was properly adjusted and maintained by a specialist shop. Therefore, even though the pickguard is missing and there are some minor scratches, I've judged that there are no issues with playability, and have listed it as "No noticeable scratches or dirt." The pickguard is missing, and there are some dents here and there, but it has been properly maintained by a specialist workshop, so the playability is perfect. The truss rod has plenty of room. String height at the 12th fret: 6th string: 2.0mm 1st string: 1.5mm It plays very smoothly with the current setup. A generic semi-hard case is included. I'm listing this to organize my equipment because I have too many guitars. It will be carefully protected and packed in a guitar-specific cardboard box for shipping. Due to the large size of the item, it will be shipped via pickup. Please understand that it may take some time to ship depending on when you purchase it.
