*This is a used guitar in very good condition
*This is a consignment item
*Includes non-original hard shell case

*Observations: With its lovely cherry sunburst finish, this Kalamazoo-made dreadnought is in overall very good condition for its age. There is playing wear on the top and pick guard---mostly scuffs, swirls and scratches but there are also a few finish checks, mostly in the area of the top between the fingerboard and the treble side. On the back, there is a decent amount of buckle rash and a few very small finish chips. On the bass side of the guitar there are two lines in the finish, one of which looks like a check and one that could possibly be a small crack, although it can't be seen on the inside of the guitar. Aside from this, there are also the usual small dents and dings one expects to see on a 50-year old instrument that has been played regularly. Some of the tuners are a bit stiff but they function normally. Playability is decent, with medium action, and there is still a little saddle height to allow the action to be lowered a bit if desired. A non-original Road Runner hard shell case is included.
