The beautiful Rosewood is in excellent condition as is the rest of the guitar. The guitar was completely set up by a professional Luthier with the neck reset to give it a nice low action and a very easy playing feel. The sound is what you would expect from a truly handmade vintage guitar, low crisp tones balanced with the ability to offer a booming theater filling sound. It shows little signs of wear or use with no cracks of other major blemishes. This is a very collectable guitar made by a very successful company that has been in the business of making high end guitars for over 35 years. It does have some crackling of the finish on the top of the body. It comes with its original hard case, a sure to please instrument. At a glance one might mistake it for a Martin, it's simply more beautiful. You won't be disappointed. - FREE INSURED SHIPPING/CONTINENTAL US - Thank you
