This guitar was hand-painted by a family member who loves Hide. It's beautiful just to display. We're moving, so we're giving it to someone who will cherish it. About a year ago, they took it to a music store and had the strings replaced. It's been stored at home for a long time, so we'd like to give it to someone who understands that. I'm a novice, so I don't know if it's an electric guitar or not... Thank you. X JAPAN LUNA SEA GLAY
