According to standard grading guidelines, Very Good describes items that have more cosmetic imperfections than Excellent, but are still in great condition overall with nothing that affects the playability or function of the gear. The back of the guitar exhibits noticeable buckle rash, heavy surface scratches, and a distinct orange\/pink transfer mark near the center bout. There is also light scuffing along the edge where the multi-ply binding meets the finish on the cutaway horn, and the gold hardware shows mild tarnishing consistent with age. Despite these cosmetic signs of playwear, the guitar is fully functional, completely structurally sound, and plays beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEstimated Market Value:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGiven the rarity of this 1-of-40 limited run, the highly desirable Staple\/P90 pickup configuration, and the inclusion of the original custom pickguard, this instrument holds strong collector appeal.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heritage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50514947997951,"sku":"Heritage H-157 -dkim2026","price":4199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1110\/3544\/files\/medium_8182eba8-5e9c-4f29-844e-cbe6788c9868.jpg?v=1790108025","url":"https:\/\/www.cottonwoodmusicemporium.com\/products\/2014-heritage-h-157-custom-limited-edition-electric-guitar-17-of-40-black","provider":"Cottonwood Music Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
