<p>[QUOTE="aaroncab, post: 855782, member: 3974"]It's probably just a difference in what one considers "mint". To me, the definition of mint is that the item is in the exact condition it would have come from the factory. Here are things that don't look be "mint" to me about your guitar just based on what i can see in the pics:</p><p><br /></p><p>1. As you mentioned, no label.</p><p>2. Headstock has wear on the corners (front and back).</p><p>3. The nut is off center/loose.</p><p>4. The top/front has 2 small scratches on the left side.</p><p>5. There appear to be various other light wear/scratches on the sides and back. </p><p><br /></p><p>Again - maybe I'm quibbling - but for someone looking for a "mint" condition guitar - this isn't mint. It's very good for it's age, but rarely will you ever find a guitar this age in actual mint condition - unless it's NOS that's been sitting in a music store backroom for 50 years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
