This vintage Schecter guitar is in excellent condition for its age. As can be seen from the pictures, fret wear is near zero, and the body, neck and chrome shine. There are a few blemishes on the back edge of the body (see pics) which don't take away from the overall beauty of the instrument. The pick guard on this guitar has been replaced from its original 8 holed pick guard to its current 5 hole. The neck is straight with no visible fret wear. The neck is gorgeous.
It plays superbly, and this is the go-to guitar for anyone who wants to look and sound like Mark Knopfler. If you're a Dire Straits fan, this guitar is for you!
