About This Listing

1970's-80's Carlos model 238 Dreadnought Acoustic guitar made in Korea, with case.

Very nice playing and sounds really good. I checked the fretboard with a rocker and had no fret issues it fret buzz, all frets are in good shape, a crown and polish wouldn't hurt, but it plays smoothly and has great action. The neck has a truss rod you can adjust through the sound hole. I put new GHS phosphorus bronze 12-54 acoustic strings on it and the intonation is really close, a hair sharp. The bridge has had some stress and it's cracked through the string holes, but it's not lifting, and holds the strings as needed. It looks like it's been screwed through the top but one screw is missing, and the hole was filled with a putty or glue- this doesn't effect the playing or tone of the guitar, but will likely need to be fixed at some point in it's future.

Comes with a hard case and new strings all setup.

Shipping will be provided at the buyers expense and I'll bubble wrap and box the case and guitar securely.
