Cosmetics: This instrument has a wonderful light blue finish with great checking in the finish. With the relic’ing in the finish it is hard to tell if this instrument has real dings or if they were created in the factory – either way, there are some dings on the guitar and one in particular on the top bout of the guitar, however, the instrument is structurally sound & ready to be played and loved.

Playability: This guitar plays great – the action is low and there is no buzzing or dead spots. We set this guitar up with 10’s and it sounds wonderful.
