Esteve 1GR09C Classical Guitar -1996 - Natural Gloss

This was my fathers, left to me when he passed away. He barely played it and as such it is in excellent condition with only one small 1/8" oblong dent in the finish (not through to the wood) and some very mild, nearly imperceptible finish scuffing behind the bridge. He restrung it shortly before he passed away with a set of Savarez 520B Light Tension strings which have only been touched a handful of times since I've acquired the guitar.

This guitar was made by hand in Spain and the craftsmanship is impeccable: Solid (not laminate) Indian Rosewood back and sides, a solid Cedar top with the traditional "fan" bracing, Mahogany neck with Rosewood overlay on the headstock and a thick slab of Ebony for the fingerboard. 52mm nut width, 650mm scale length. No strap buttons have been installed and no pickup either. This is a virgin guitar without alterations.

It plays wonderfully and puts forth a big, beautiful tone that is very sensitive to the players attack and nuance. The guitar comes with a Made In Spain Barbados brand classical guitar hard case with original case key, also in excellent condition.

*Edit: I received a question regarding the setup and action and thought to share this information. Using a digital micrometer that measures to the thousandth, measuring from the 12 fret: 3.07mm on the bass side and 3.04mm on the treble side, averaged across 3 measurement attempts. There's about 2mm of height on the bridge saddle as well, so there's plenty of room to go lower and adjust to your tastes.
