Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good (some finish checking and imperfections)
Woah! We haven't seen many of these older, slightly more dressed up 17"-ers from Eastman, much less in this gorgeous condition! That thin finish has checked a little bit here and there but the overall look is aged, elegant, and completely refined. The fine, thin grain in that spruce top is graced with a warm glow that's settled in over the years. Gorgeous! For $1k less than they go for new these days--don't miss it!
