The Vintage Sunburst nitro lacquer gloss finish exhibits buckle rash on the bass-side upper bout, some small dings clustered on the bass-side lower bout (also on the back), and some additional, sparser pinhead-sized marks extending to the top. There is one repaired split across the pickguard, and one cleanly filled extra strap button mounting hole on the bass-side upper bout on the back. The neck binding is deeply ambered, with some checking at the fret nibs, and the gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean.
