Very clean. I bought this guitar about 18 months ago. It's only been played around the house, but has been in the case and untouched for the past year or so. The nickel hardware has started to oxidize, as it does.
Includes the original hard case. The new ones come with a soft case.
The pictures where I had a black guard on it show the grain a bit better and is a more honest light. The day I took the pics with the original White guard on, it was really bright. It has the original white guard on it now, but if you prefer the black look I'll include the black guard as well.
