This guitar wasn't used...it was kept after it was received as gift by a friend who never learned to play. He is now parting with it, and asked me to handle the sale. I've done much research and found that he was holding onto an amazing, beautiful and beloved by the guitar community string instrument! This guitar is brand new and in perfect, mint condition. It only shows a few signs of age and storage -dust, untuned, old strings... Otherwise, brand new. It's older, too. It's an antique I'm sure. These are priced up to and over $1,000. I'm hoping to do right by my friend and get him some fair portion of what it's worth. Contact me today as I'm sure this won't last!
