This Squier is a factory second and is in very nice condition but does have a paint issue from the factory on the right side of the neck pocket (see pictures). It has been clear coated over by our supplier and is smooth to the touch. Due to an agreement between our supplier MIRC and the manufacturer, it is stamped used on the back of the head stock since it is not being sold as a new guitar. If you have any questions or would like an specific pictures please let us know!
