Solid spruce top which has several nicks & bruises. There are 2- top cracks which do not go thru the wood all the way. They do not affect the sound of guitar. This guitar has been played a lot & has scars to prove it. The rosewood fretboard is in good condition. The frets show considerable wear at the first 4-5 frets. There are indentations on the E & B string areas. Very slight buzzing occasionally at the 4-5 fret on high E string. I believe it could be corrected with a new nut & some fret dressing. The rosewood bridge is in good condition. It is solid- no lifting from the top. The electronics are excellent sounding. Takamine's Accracoustic Preamp with 9volt battery. There are 4 slider controls, volume control,and quick change battery compartment. This thing has some serious volume without losing any tones set on the preamp. The acoustic sound when not amplified is typical of Takamine - much better amplified. Included is an average chipboard case for safer shipping.

This guitar has been used extensively but still has plenty of life left. It is very playable as it is now but could benefit with some work on the nut & a few frets. There are no strap holders on this guitar. The color is a dark brown burst on the front. The sides & back are black. Selling this Takamine at approx. half of what they normally sell for on Ebay.
