Very cool guitar, excellent Fishman Fluence Modern active pickups give crazy tonal options!
"May" have some light scuffs, certainly nothing to be seen without really looking closely.
Will ship with all original materials plus added strap locks (original buttons are also included) and strap to which top of strap buttons were installed. If you don't like the strap you can install those lock tops on another. If you don't like strap locks you can just use whatever strap on the existing buttons or reinstall the originals.
Included YouTube clip is one of a few to be found online, though featuring one in purple burst, includes a rundown of specs starting around 02:30.
Thanks for your interest!

A High-End Guitar Doesn’t Have To Mean High-End Prices
The NEXT HN7 sounds every bit as good as it looks. Taking our popular NEXT Series to the next level, we outfitted the guitar with a pair of Fishman Fluence ceramic (neck) and alnico (bridge) humbucking pickups.
We also worked with the experts at Alchemy to give it a custom tremolo bridge that ensures effortless pitch control and rock-solid tuning. Finally, the 5-piece maple and walnut neck and stainless steel frets offer increased stability for a lifetime of use.
