I don’t play this guitar any more and it’s a real shame to keep it shut away in its case, so it should find a new home. The one noticeable blemish is at the top of the upper bout (see last picture) where I caught the guitar on a latch on the case (the hard case is included in the price). The instrument is in very good condition for 15 years plus, with a few minor dings here and there, as you’d expect. Professionally set-up with a very low action, this is much more playable than most 12 strings and has a very pleasant sound. The solid spruce top has aged to a golden glow. This handsome, round shouldered dreadnaught has beautiful ‘coral rosewood’ back and sides (which I believe = pau ferro or ironwood).
