The Sustainable Series was introduced in 2018. It features back and side panels made from sustainably harvested North American walnut, and instead of lacquer, the finish is a natural one achieved by rubbing in beeswax derived from natural materials. The pickguard is also made of wood, giving it a wonderful texture. It comes equipped with an LR Baggs VTC pickup featuring volume and tone controls.
Overall, there are almost no scratches or dents, and there are no cracks in the wood or any history of repairs related to them. The strap pin on the neck heel is original.
The neck has a slight backward bow. The string action is set low at 1.8 mm on the 6th string and 1.5 mm on the 1st string, and the truss rod is barely tightened. There is some slight buzzing when strumming the 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings hard. If this bothers you, you will need to replace the saddle with a slightly higher one.
It comes with the original hard case and beeswax for maintenance.
