That is indeed what i got, in great shape it seems. The only thing i dont know is if the truss rod is good or not. Sold by an amateur. So that wasnt disclosed.

Fingers crossed.

It is in great shape. It does need a shim though, the bridge is higher than what id like it to be at. Thats easy.

The truss rod. I still dont know if it turns because none of my allen keys seem to fit. The nut is deeper than other ones but I do see a hex head there. But is it stripped? Fuuuck… Not sure the size allen key it takes. The neck is pretty straight though. Still, I need to know.

But yeah looks great. The frets dont have much wear.

So nice!
You can try to tackle the truss with a Torx bit, or use one of these:

Actually - I think someone has lost a hex bit in there. Brightening the image shows a hex-inside-a-hex. If that's right (take more photos with better light?), you might be able to get it out by screwing a long screw into the hole and pulling it out somehow. A little PB Blaster or WD40 would help.
