Condition

This guitar has been very well cared for. Noted wear includes:

• A tiny ding near the edge of the lower bout
• A few very light, superficial marks from normal handling
• Next to no fret wear – plays clean and smooth all the way up
• There is a > .1mm separation at the edge of the bridge. The bridge is very much securly seated but thought this was worthy of noting.

No cracks, repairs, or functional issues.

Why You’ll Love It

The Grand Symphony body paired with Engelmann spruce and rosewood delivers big volume, warmth, and clarity, while the ES1 electronics capture that tone naturally when plugged in. It’s equally at home on stage, in the studio, or in your living room.
