The guitar plays cleanly with no fret buzz or choking. Despite the lack of an adjustable truss rod, the neck is set perfectly with minimal relief and a comfortable medium\/low action. Intonation is excellent across the entire neck, especially in open chord positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1179\" data-start=\"836\"\u003eThis instrument has clearly lived a long musical life, it’s been played extensively and loved for good reason. It shows the honest marks of a players guitar wear with a few dings, cracks, and well-done repairs. It’s been properly maintained and remains a wonderful, responsive player with many more years left ahead.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis guitar delivers a remarkably full, controlled low-end response and sounds much bigger than you’d expect from a traditional 000 body.

We never embellish, oversaturate, or misrepresent our images, so that your buying experience can be as much like visiting our showroom as possible. Keep in mind that various computer screens can show colors a bit differently, so the color on your screen may not match the real thing perfectly no matter how hard we try. Also, unless otherwise noted, we individually list and photo every piece of gear that comes through our doors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eHEAR A LIVE DEMO\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product__description\"\u003eExperience our innovative Video Appointment service!
