This is quite a cool Hi-Flier! It??s got plenty of battle scars, chips and wear. It??s the best look for Hi-Fliers in my opinion, frets were never high from the factory, so the frets on this can be considered low-medium. One of the bridge posts has some wobble, but that hasn??t affected playability
