- Action: The guitar has been professionally inspected and set up by a luthier, resulting in smooth, low action for easy playability, even for complex chords high on the neck.
- Intonation: Intonation is spot-on, and the frets are smooth and polished.
- Sustain: This guitar boasts incredible sustain, with notes ringing out for well over 15 seconds.
Condition:
This vintage instrument shows signs of its age and history. The guitar needed some work upon acquisition, including a neck reset and bridge reset. These repairs have been professionally addressed, and the guitar now plays and sounds magnificent. There are various nicks, chips, dents, dings, scratches, and some mild finish wear throughout, which add to its authentic vintage charm and beautiful patina.
Includes the original hardshell case, which shows some wear and tear, and a portion of the back clasp is missing. However, the case remains sturdy and fulfills its protective function well.
