About the JSB, from Bamburg website: Perhaps the most versatile guitar. The contemporary styling of this popular model incorporates a narrow waist with a generous lower bout balancing the guitar comfortably in the players lap. Well suited for singer songwriter, solo finger style and accompaniment.

Condition: There are two finish blemishes on the top of the body (pictured), as well as some minor pick scratches near the sound hole. There is also a hairline finish crack in the back of the body near the lower bout, which has been repaired by Denny Lash at Murphy’s Music in Irving, TX. Expected small finish scratches on the back in the “belt buckle” zone.

Mods: The original machine heads (Gotoh 510 Minis with Ebony buttons) have been replaced with a set of Takamine G Series TGP0550G gold machine heads. Original Gotoh machine head set is included. Additional screws holes were necessary for the Takamine machine heads, and the OEM holes have been filled with gold screws (see picture). There were no mods to the the post holes through the headstock.
