Here's a unique opportunity to own a guitar that's in the same condition as when it was purchased from a store over 20 years ago. This comes from a collector I know who is selling off most of his 50 guitars (he only played about 3 of them) and this is an opportunity too good to pass up! Case is in excellent shape. We ship to the 48 contiguous United States.

Color is Natural. Year of manufacture is believed to be 1997.

Guitar is in excellent condition. Guitar was lightly played and there a couple of very small indentations on the top that don't go through the finish. They can only be seen under very close examination in perfect lighting.


Here are some key features of this fine specimen:
