These are rare guitars and this limited edition model (#81 of 100) comes with Herringbone trim around the top and the rosette, slotted diamond fingerboard inlays, bound headstock, and lovely Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. It’s in very good to excellent condition minus a couple of small marks on the top and a few minor dings on the back of the neck opposite the fifth fret. Overall it presents as a very clean guitar.

This guitar checks all the boxes.
