This guitar has no rosette though there is a residual ring where one was once upon a time. The finish on this guitar is matte rather than glossy. Ready to play upon arrival (though I will loosen the strings for shipping). Franciscan guitars were made by Aria. This one was made in Korea in the 70s. It's a 3/4 scale guitar so is suitable for adolescents, smaller adults and smaller hands. Great travel guitar. I'm not completely certain, but I believe the entire body is mahogany (including the top). See photos for condition. Only noteworthy damage is a light scratch on the side shown in the photos; otherwise, just light stratches and general light wear. Strings on it are a bit old but play well. If new strings are preferred (new strings will take a few days to stretch out and stay in tune), happy to restring it with some nylon strings. Just send me a message at the time of purchase to request new strings as I usually ship within a day.
