The body sports a distinctive German carve, and the original Pearl White finish is notably well-kept with limited yellowing. There is faint buckle rash on the back, scuffing along the treble side of the pick path, and just a few minor dings and finish scratches on the body as a whole. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss.
