Condition

The guitar is in very good overall condition for its age. There is one small cosmetic blemish on the side/edge of the body, which is visible in the photos. It is relativelyminor, but I want to disclose it clearly for the next owner.

There are otherwise normal signs of age/use thatyou would expect from a guitar of this vintage. Please examine all photos carefully as they are part of the description.
