As you can tell from the photos, a previous owner wasn't too careful with this guitar. There are a lot of dings, but no structural damage. The back has some of the worst buckle rash I've seen, and baked-on residue from a guitar stand's padding. None of this affects the tone, though. There are also a couple of spots on the top where the finish wore through from contact.
Here are the neck and body date stamps:
It doesn't come through well in the photo, but the exposed wood in the neck pocket has just about the same grain pattern as the maple neck, with some of the streaking typical of maple.
The fingerboard is ebony, with a 12" radius. The neck is wide at the nut, and relatively shallow. It's not my preferred profile, but I can appreciate why it would be better for shredding than any of my other Leo-era instruments. The pickups are original. The previous owner had replaced them with Carvins, but they were in a bag with the guitar when I bought it.
Anyway, enjoy the pictures!
