Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Good
This guitar was previously owned by a local working musician--it's ready to get back out there! The playwear on the top and back indicate hours of gigging but the feel and lively, responsive tone beg for many, many more. The combination of a shallow body, solid top, and laminate back and sides provide the optimum balance between rich, acoustic tone and feedback resistance at bandstand volumes.
Guitar has some buckle rash and other dings and blemishes in the finish from play, the notable blemishes have been photoed.
