Beat to heck on the back. Showing its age. Probably a bit steep considering the condition.

At least the front looks decent enough.

Love those pinkish coloured position markers, I'd like to see a close up. :look:

Yeah the front and neck are all good, so that's the important stuff. But I can't figure out what on earth caused that large scraped damage on the bottom. The dings and chips are understandable but that thing looks like it was deliberate! :toopid:

The tuners are misaligned too (replacements ?). Look OK from the front but the rear view shows they're all over the place. Strange scuff mark above the D string too.
Weird since there's no evidence of original mounting holes which would indicate they were factory mounted. Tsk, tsk.

I have a couple with cock-eyed tuners from the factory. I guess they installed them on a Monday or a Friday. Monday when they were hung over or Friday after an early start to the weekend. :rofl:

It is really beat up in my opinion. Bit steep for the condition.

Poly has a nasty habit of peeling once a chip gets moisture under it. There's also that guy that once it starts to peel he can't help but pick at it.

Sounds like a good explanation, but I've not seen this kind of mutilation before.
Just dumb if that is indeed the cause. :toopid:
