The maple back and sides are nicely figured. It's structurally sound, and in very good condition overall. It has numerous dings and scratches, and some finish checking. The finish is worn off the back of the neck in the lower positions. It's been professionally set up in our shop, and currently has flatwound strings on it. Price includes the original (and a bit worn) hard case.
