Here is my checklist:
Lifting bridge (any gap what so ever)
Condition of bridge (cracks, repairs, modified)
Flat soundboard (especially behind the bridge)
Neck angle (neck should line up with top of bridge should not have the slightest twist)
Fret lifting
Fret wear
Neck binding cracks
Condition of fretboard
Gaps between neck heel and body
Any repairs or touch-ups
This is a very common model so unless it's perfect or priced very low, keep looking.
