Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent. This instrument was made in 2014.
SP Luthier Notes: Our luthier completed an inspection of this instrument once it landed with us, and the guitar was deemed to all ready be in otherwise ideal playing and cosmetic condition, and no work was required.
THIS is the smallbody guitar we all want. Sits in the lap like a happy cat but makes many guitars twice its size sound like wimps by comparison. About as perfect a balance as you can strike from bass to treble with a woody, warm, organic tone that you want from a guitar that's already seen a few years of playtime. This piece is an absolutely dime, and it's an absolute joy to play!
