Update & amendment: I have noticed that in certain light conditions, and under the most intense scrutiny, it is possible to discern the faintest of "string change" marks to small areas of the finish of the guitar. Also, there are two tiny marks on the side of the headstock where an over-zealous technician has used a string winding machine that has touched the wood. A future owner could, of course, decide to easily remedy these miniscule points and revert the guitar to mint condition. Personally, I am of the opinion that great guitars should be played and enjoyed - but I have amended the price to reflect these comments.

I am prepared to ship this guitar if necessary, and have given indications of what I believe to be the likely shipping costs (with the necessary insurance) to various parts of the world. Actual shipping will be at cost, so may fluctuate slightly from these indicative figures. Any local requirements such as import duties, taxes etc. are the responsibility of the buyer.
