  • Rosewood back and sides
  • Mahogany neck with rosewood fretboard
  • Traditional fan bracing
  • Classic gloss finish

🎵 Tone & Playability:

This guitar delivers a warm, rich tone with great sustain and clarity—perfect for classical, fingerstyle, or even folk playing. The action is comfortable, and it plays clean up and down the neck.

📌 Condition:

  • Overall in good condition for its age
  • A few cosmetic dings and scratches as expected from a vintage instrument

This is a great player’s guitar with vintage mojo and a beautiful, aged tone. Would make an excellent instrument for students, collectors, or anyone looking for a quality nylon-string guitar without breaking the bank.
