Originally a New Old Stock (NOS) discovery from a guitar store in 2014, this instrument has been well-preserved and lightly used, with only a small ding on the back of the headstock as the sole blemish. Accompanied by a non-original case this guitar retains its original charm and character, making it a valuable piece for collectors or players appreciating a well-maintained vintage instrument.
