I found this guitar to be an incredible value with great play-ability with a bunch of varied tones. The chambered body gives it a very comfortable weight, and access to the 24th fret is fantastic, with low action and a great feel.
The guitar is extremely clean, though I did play it a fair amount. No dings or play wear to note, just a little tarnish on the bridge and a bit of pick swirl on the pickguard.
Here are specs from this particular example, and a bunch of info from the manufacturer, below:
Case: Orig gig bag (I can easily ship this safely, don't worry!)
Nut width: 1.687"
Scale length: 25"
Raduis: 12"
Neck thickness at first fret: .86"
Neck thickness at 12th fret: .965"
Weight: 7lbs 12oz.
