The serial number on this guitar is HKX293016 which means it was made in Taiwan in 2014.
It is in great condition with only some light scuffing here and there.
There are no major dents, dings or scratches.
As you can see from the pictures the truss rod cover is missing but I colored in the spots inside the truss rod cavity so it’s not very noticeable.
A cover can be purchased online but people seem to think they are made of gold.
Lol! The tremolo cavity cover plate was also missing when I received it so I purchased an aftermarket one that is not original to the guitar but works just fine.
It has upgraded locking Grover tuners.
I just did a complete set up by cleaning and oiling the fretboard.
I put a new set of Ernie Ball regular slinky 10 through 46 strings on it.
I adjusted the truss rod to the new string tension and the neck is perfectly straight.
It has a Wilkinson tremolo system on it which I adjusted properly and when used it achieves drop silence.
I adjusted the saddle heights for the best action
possible without any fret buzzing and it has great action.
I also adjusted the pick up heights for equal volumes when switching back-and-forth from one to another.
All the electronics work great with no crackling or popping when they are being used.
The tone knob is a push pull pot that splits the bridge coils.
The stand is not included in the price nor is it for sale.

If your strings are getting old and your guitar needs new ones don't just change them, get a setup! After you get a setup your instrument will be easier to play and sound better.
If you need your strings changed, fretboard cleaned, frets dressed, complete setups, repairs and replacement of electronics or replacement of other parts on your acoustic, bass or electric guitar then bring it to me.
However I am not a Luthier and don’t do woodwork, painting or fret replacements.
