Description
Condition: This guitar is in good overall shape for its age! There are scratches, nicks, dings, dents and chips throughout the instrument. The largest and most noticeable wear is on the top where there are some larger scratches and dings. The center seam on the back is showing a very tiny amount of separation and movement towards the bottom. It is very hard to see and is not currently affecting playability. There is a brace on the inside which goes over this area of the center seam and is helping to hold it together keeping it from separating any further. This is the only structural issue with the guitar. Fingerboard and frets have moderate play wear. The neck currently plays fine, but may require some fret work in the future. There is one large ding on the neck but it does not affect playability (see photos). The neck is very straight with a very slight warp at the 12th fret. The truss rod does not have a huge range of motion but functions fine. All parts are in good working condition.
Body: Bound mahogany top with mahogany back and sides in natural finish. Rosewood bridge with a bone saddle. Single-ply black pickguard held on by three screws and an inlaid ring around the sound hole.
Body Dimensions: 14.5” wide x 4 2/8” deep. Upper bout: 11 ¼” wide x 3.5” deep.
Neck: Slender mahogany neck with soft “V’ shape. Rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays and a 1 3/16” bone nut. Vintage Kluson Deluxe nickel tuners with ivoroid buttons, 23” scale length.
Weight: 3lbs, 5.2oz.
Playability/Sound: This is a gorgeous sounding Tenor guitar! The body shape and size produces a nicely defined midrange with plenty of high and low end. The body depth creates some nice volume and resonance. The neck is extremely comfortable and suitable for any playing style.
Case: Includes unoriginal hardshell case in good overall condition.
