The neck has a light playwea, mainly along its edges but is overall in great shape. The headstock is also in great shape with only a few light dings and scuffs. Everything remains structurally sound with no breaks or repairs aside from one tiny square of the headstock face by the G string tuner that had shipped and has been glued.
