It's in great condition. There's a some nail scratches before I installed the transparent pickguard (can be removed easily. It's been mostly used at my non-smoking home studio (with controlled humidity and temperature), never had a gig with it.
It does need new strings. I am including a very good Savarez set for russian guitar (needs to be installed).
Although this is a Russian guitar is widely used in Brazil for certain genres like choro and samba, that's what I used it for, it is an amazing 7 string guitar.
Developed for Russian Romani practitioner Vadim Kolpakov, we based our 7-string cutaway/electric model on our standout F65CW, but with a red cedar soundboard to further enable fingerstyle articulation and accentuate the bottom string. Supple yet authoritative, Fiesta F65CW-7S is equally expressive in several tunings, including Romany Open G and standard tuning with a low B.
