Well cared for and in overall excellent condition. No modifications or repairs, no cracks, warping, or need for a neck reset. The saddle remains at its original height, providing plenty of room to lower the action if desired. However, it plays wonderfully as is. This beautiful instrument has a mature tone with huge booming lows and blooming high overtones. Always properly stored and maintained.

Shows some signs of play on the back of the neck but has just a few very minor scuffs otherwise.

Listed in excellent condition - Please message if you have any questions.

Very clean for being 24 years old.

No trades - fair offers considered.
