This guitar has been played quite a bit, but remains in good shape. There is light wear on the top on the treble side of the strings. There are a few topical scratches on the top that are not cracks. There was a center top seam crack behind the bridge and a back crack that were professionally repaired. The back of the body shows patina and light wear. There’s a faint impression on the back of the neck, with a few other light marks on the headstock. The back of the neck is a touch glossier than the headstock from being played. The frets show the faintest hint of wear down low. There is a strap button on the neck heel.
This guitar weighs 4lbs 5oz. The neck measures .820 to 1.015 at the 1st and 9th. It has a low oval neck profile that feels just like it sounds. The guitar has a fantastic tone and nice volume for its size. It’s warm and round with nice clarity and excellent sustain. A finely appointed guitar with a great vibe.
Ships in the original hardshell case and includes the build sheet.
