Sound Pure's Take

Wizened but far from weary!  There's plenty of life and power ready for the player here, folks.  This beautiful guitar came to us with the wear one would expect from a guitar that's been played for as long as it has, but it's been cared for--our luthier, who only had to perform a minor setup, can attest to that.
