The string height is 2.0mm-2.5mm above 12th fret, which is the GIB standard, and can vibrate depending on how hard you pick.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe body and paint are in excellent condition with no noticeable scratches.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe electrical system is in good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo obvious modifications were found.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eControls: Master Volume, Treble, Middle, Bass\u003cbr\u003eNut Width: 44.0mm\u003cbr\u003eBridge String Spacing: 19.0mm\u003cbr\u003eScale: 34\"\u003cbr\u003eYear of Manufacture: 2022\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Manufacture: USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGIB craftsmen will adjust the instrument for optimal playability before shipping.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAccessories: Hard case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eText: Ryuma Terao\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eQuality Inspector: Terao\u003cbr\u003eProduct Photography: Wakatsuki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGIB 3-Month Warranty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e◯ About the GIB and TONIQ Warranty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e● Lifetime Free Maintenance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInstruments purchased from our store are eligible for lifetime free \"string vibration setup\" (normally ¥4,400).
