It's got a few minor dings on the back, some minor pick wear on the top, and had a small repair to the binding and edge of the low side of the headstock but it's in great shape otherwise and plays like a dream. It also had a CTS/Vitamin Q/Switchcraft rewire along w/ an SD Slash Alnico II Pro put in the bridge and a JB in the neck and the whole setup sounds really great and hot vintage + to me, w/ plenty of glorious body and bite in very pleasing proportions:

I'm not a fan of the gold hardware and will probably wind up converting it over to some kind of brushed/aged nickel setup on purely aesthetic grounds, but by initial impression I couldn't be happier w/ this guitar in every other regard. I think what hooked me was the similarity in feel and sound to my '92 LP Studio. The Burny has a slightly more tapered down neck profile to it and the action as setup w/ .010-.046s has a slightly lower effort/smoother feel than the Studio w/ .010-.050s. Tonally it seems very similar to the stock 498/490 set in the Studio, but w/ a bit more output and articulation.
