Cosmetics: This guitar was originally silver and has aged to a dark gold. It has various nicks, dings, and scratches throughout. There is bit of wear on the fingerboard on the first few frets (See Photos Please). The face of the headstock has aged to a dark brown. The tuning keys have tarnished also with a bit of brown on them. The pickguard has regular wear. The back cover has cracked and looks to be glued back together on one of the corners.
