Takamine Jasmine (Model No. ES33C) 2010s Natural

Jasmine ES33C: (very good condition, borderline excellent)

Bought Used several years ago.  Reverb doesn’t have the specs on this guitar.  Here’s what I do know:

-Lacewood Back and Sides

-Tortoise Binding on Body and Neck

-Spruce Top (I can’t determine if it is a solid top or not)

-Working Amp (battery can be changed from the outside)

-Dreadnought Shape (though to me it feels smaller/more comfortable than the average dreadnought)

This is not a boomer (loud) guitar, but it does sound nice.  The lacewood sides combined with the tortoise binding produce a high-end appearance.  Subjective, but I think it looks prettier on the wall or a stand than my other guitars.

Since owning, I have:

-Upgraded/changed the saddle to a bone saddle (previously plastic)

-Upgraded/changed the bridge pins to wood (previously plastic)

-Replaced Strings with Phosphor Bronze (probably 12 months old at this point)

I’ve tried to point out all of the notable flaws in the body in photos.    The most notable being a pencil eraser-sized ding on the top below 2 inchs below the bridge.  Additionally, there appears to be some glue repair on the battery cover that is only visible with the cover off.  The cover slides open and closed while staying closed without issue.

Planning to de-tune and ship in a retail guitar box (not original), as well as packing in a shipping box.  I can ship in a hard chipboard case instead of the used retail box for an additional $35 (Alverez brand, used but with working buckles/hardware). I can ship in a gig-bag for an additional $10.
