Description
What makes this guitar special: A very elegant, custom ordered J-40 with some tasteful features, namely the slotted headstock & a 1 7/8" nut width. It's in superb condition for being 30 years old & delivers a deep, rich tone. Additional features include hexagon inlays & gold hardware. Also an LR Baggs Anthem soundhole mounted preamp was added after-market. Professionally set up by the experts at Cream City Music with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds fantastic!
Cosmetic Condition: Really nice shape for being 30 years old! Various nicks & dings; surface scratches & some light play wear.
