This is the condition of the head-stock on collection, I did tell the previous owner I would clean it myself. Random
set of strings.
Usual type of damage to these type
of guitar, not worst Iv seen.
Small chip on other side.
This point of guitar is always first to touch ground when its put down. Due to the Bich shape this point is usually the worst off.
Small chip.
Chips to every point of guitar, but
its only paint chips.
The plastic on the pick up guards
and the dials spoil the final look.
These are the original dials,
they got to go.
Same as the pick up guards,
they just spoil overall look.
