With 40+year old tonewoods and based on the Martin D41, this Tokai-made Cat's Eyes CE320DN is an awesome dreadnought that sounds way nicer than the price tag. The line on the heel in pictures #3-4 is not a crack. The separate heel section wasn't sanded flush to the neck piece and there is a slight ridge. It doesn't look as obvious in person and the finish is intact throughout this area. The abalone/mother of pearl inlay work is super impressive and beautiful, and the sound is super full and complex, as one would expect from the solid wood construction and years of play opening up the sound. Don't sleep on this sleeper!
