This guitar sold for a world record price a few years ago, and having this guitar in hand now I can a little better understand why, BUT that is not how things are done around here. This GRETSCH guitar has no issues at all. I really just said that but not for laughs. There is some edge wear on the back. The neck is exceptionally straight it seems. There are no binding or construction issues or damage. This is a really clean all original exceptional example and easy to play guitar .
