Description (revised)
I bought this guitar 4 years ago; I have probably played it a total of 4 times since then, and as such am selling it. The great part about this guitar is that it sounds amazing and plays great. It was refretted this spring. Spruce top and Rosewood back/sides (check out the photos). The bad part about this guitar is that the top is saggy (see the photos - I've tried my best to get good pictures but apologize for the inaccuracies inherent in amateur photography). I've taken it to 3 repair guys and they all tell me the same thing: "This guitar sounds great and the top has been like this for more than a decade, so I’m not going to mess with it, because anything I do will probably hurt the sound, and if it's been like this for a decade, it'll probably be fine for a couple more decades." Additionally, the neck was reset at some point, and the repair guys who looked at the instrument said that the neck reset looks fine. The bridge/saddle was also removed and reattached at some point, and it's a little rough, but the repair guys said that it was fine as well. There are a couple scuffs in the finish, one visible near the pickguard and another on the bottom left of the guitar if you're looking at it in a stand. Includes a hardshell case. Payment via PayPal within 3 days of the end of the auction. Shipping is UPS ground to the lower 48 and Canada for $30 including insurance. No returns, exchanges, or free vacations to Barbados. Feel free to submit questions as you have them, but I'm not going to add any more photos, as I've photographed everything on it worth photographing as best I can. Happy belated 4th.
