More Information

We would recommend this guitar could use a neck reset for better playing action. There is a factory 2 stamp to the back of the head which may be due to the way the shoulders appear sloped in at the neck. The tuners are replaced. There is a small crack to the table between the bridge and the end on the lower bout which appears to be lacquer only. Personal viewing advised.
