A beautiful rosewood fretboard that remains in great shape. Frets show some light wear but overall are in good shape and have a good amount of life left in them. Hardware shows some light age but overall in very good shape for its age. Electronics work perfectly.

From the web:

The "S" suffix denotes the Special or Standard designation. Compared to the deluxe 4001, it features a rounded, unbound body edges that many players find more comfortable against their forearm. This specific stripped-down aesthetic was famously preferred by legendary bassists like Paul McCartney and Chris Squire, cementing its iconic "British Rock" legacy.

    Gorgeous
    Size: 9, Color: Tan
    These are so pretty! I ended up returning these because they were so tall and I couldn’t walk in them as good as I thought I was going to be able to. Besides that, they fit true to size and were comfortable.

    Wouldn’t recommend these sandals.
    I was really excited to try the Steve Madden Women's Wafer Heeled Sandals, but unfortunately, I’m disappointed with the quality. The sandals look great in photos, but when I received them, I noticed that the materials felt cheap and not as durable as I expected from a brand like Steve Madden. The straps are stiff, and they rubbed against my skin, causing discomfort after only a short amount of time. The fit also wasn’t great — they felt a bit tight, especially around the toes, which made them hard to wear for longer periods. While the heel height is cute, the overall construction doesn’t seem to provide enough support, which made walking in them less comfortable than I anticipated. For the price, I expected better quality and comfort. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t recommend these sandals.

    Perfect black patent leather heel
    Size: 6.5, Color: Black Patent
    Definitely go up an entire size in these. I used to work at Steve Madden and can tell you with 100% confidence if you're ever buying one of their heels with a pointier toe, you need to go up an entire size or your foot is going to suffer. These are a perfect "high" stiletto, they're definitely not low and I wouldn't say they're a breeze to walk in unless you're used to heels. I will vouch for how comfortable they are though given the height and the shape - they're as comfortable as a heel like this could be for sure! If you have skinnier ankles, definitely recommend punching an extra hole in the strap.

    toe strap is tewww tight
    Size: 8, Color: Black
    I love the look of these heels, they’re super classy, elegant, simple, and most importantly I chose these because of the small platform at the base of the heel for a less painful experience. The onlyyyyyy issue I have is that the toe strap is so close to the front and tight (as you can see)!! I got the correct size but wish I didn’t have to stretch them out (which is almost impossible because that leather is stiff). The shoe is not very bendable but I personally like it because the shoe is sturdy.
