Cervantes has a well-deserved reputation for making an excellent crossover guitar. His background in classical guitar making and playing is very apparent, and it can be hard to find crossover style guitars that also have the sound of a fine classical guitar.
If I were not so OCD myself, I would have listed the guitar to be in excellent condition (but officially VG). It is largely free of any wear. There are some very faint scuffs in the playing area, visible when looking for them, in the right angle of light. I cannot even get them to show in the pictures. I suspect they could be buffed out if so desired. In particular the last three photos I have held the guitar at just the right angle to be able to see some sort of small ding. I never saw it before until I began holding the first to the light on various angles for these photos.
