If you're looking at this you probably know what this is. It's the real deal not some cheap Chinese reissue. I purchased this guitar from Ebay Uk about 8 years ago. It was very hard to find and I had to pay an arm and a leg to have it shipped here. The seller lied to me about this guitar but I'm actually going to be honest about it because that's just the way I am. I asked the seller if the frets were ok and he said they were fine. When I received the guitar the first 3 or 4 frets were worn down so I had a friend of mine who worked at Cobra Guitars in NYC level and polish them. This guitar sounds like no other it screams. Please do not expect a mint condition guitar the finish does have some wear and imperfections but there are no chips on the headstock which was nearly impossible to find when I was searching for this guitar.
