New hard shell case included

Sound is very nice. Full harmonic overtones are present. This guitar offers nice play-ability and perfect intonation. Action is Low-E 5/64 High_E 4/64-5/64 at the 12th fret. Because of the new X-bracing, sound is much better than the original.

Neck was reset.

Back was removed, braces removed, new braces installed.

Condition

• Top is new and in excellent condition.
• Back has four cracks, one developed near the lower bout which is visible. The other cracks are almost invisible, though you can feel them with your fingers. Also there is damaged (stabilized) binding at several places.
• Gear head back and face are good.
• Neck is straight and plays like a rock guitar. Truss rod is very effective. Some finish missing at the lamination seams. This does not affect play at all.

Due to shipping risk, and because the sale price is so low, no returns.
