I sold off all of my vintage guitars a few years ago. I wanted something to play that would not break the bank so I bought this from CME. The problem is that my left hand has become arthritic (Left thumb) and I can't stand the pain when I attempt to play. I'm 62 now and things have changed. This guitar was only played a couple of times and I put it away. It still has the strings it was shipped with and the tag is still on the tuners. There are no scratches or dings. I did take the plastic off of the pickguard. It's basically a new guitar that has been sitting since I bought it. There is some glare in the photos. There are no marks on the guitar. I don't have a scale but I'm guessing that it's about 8-9 pounds. It has the antique colored binding and looks pretty cool. There are no issues with this guitar. Please ask questions and thanks for looking. I don't have a gig bag or case for the guitar but it will be well protected and packed very well.
