We do our best to describe all items as best as possible and note any wear we find, but please be considerate that it is a used piece and it won’t be perfect (Unless noted as “Mint Condition” or “10/10” for condition).

Condition Notes:
– Condition: 9/10
– Fret wear: None!
– Any wear of note: This guitar is in really amazing shape overall and shows now real players wear. Please keep in mind, this is a factory aged instrument. All dings/dents/wear are by design as part of Heritage’s Artisan Aged feature to give the guitar the feel and look of a vintage instrument without the price tag.
– General notes: This is such an absolutely outstanding guitar from the Heritage Custom Shop! It plays so amazing with a great responsiveness and vibrance to it. The neck is a chunky 50’s C shape that fills the hand perfectly so you can grip onto notes with ease, yet still is ultra playable. The pickups sound so incredible as well. They capture the guitar beautifully with great clarity and articulation. The mahogany top, body and neck make for stellar midrange, while the ebony board provides that signature snap to really cut through. And it’s all topped off with the utterly gorgeous Artisan Aged finish on this beauty with a Gold Top for goos measure. It’s a real player that has the mojo. You won’t want to put it down!
– Accessories included: Original hard-shell case, COA, wrench, picture literature and case keys only.
