Description
Cosmetic Condition: Gorgeous guitar with some pretty bird's eye figuring in the top. There is a 2 pressed into the back of the headstock, indicating it was a factory second. Exactly why is hard to tell, but perhaps it's due to the slight inconsistency of the maple figuring in the top & the way the burst finish looks lighter in certain sections. At any rate, there are no issues with the guitar's sound or playability; in fact it sounds amazing, with a beautiful resonant tone. It's a true vintage piece of course, so there are various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches & finish checking. Overall the guitar has a great look to it with a gorgeous patina.
