I purchased this guitar used last year. The acrylic pickguard has been replaced with one from Talbo Secret Factory. (The original pickguard is not included.) The neck is almost straight. There is no fret buzz or dead spots, but it is slightly off-center. The neck is stable and I haven't needed to adjust the truss rod, so I haven't confirmed its functionality. *If you have any questions, I can remove the neck to check it. There is occasional minor crackling. Also, the wiring for the pots is somewhat loose, but it seems to be working fine at the moment. The weight is approximately 3.5-6kg. There are many scratches. An Ernie Ball denim strap is included. I have replaced the strings with D'Addario 09-42 for this sale. I will ship it in packing materials and a cardboard box. This guitar has a unique resonance and long sustain thanks to its aluminum body. Thank you for your consideration!
