Hand made by Christian Druery guitars. great playing guitar with a beautiful design. Nice sound. It did have some damage from shipping. It has been repaired (see the last 2 pictures) It was cracked at the end pin and on the top not quite to the bridge. The crack on top was minute. This was a $2300.00 guitar new. These are hard to find. Will package well with a nice gig bag.
