his guitar came to me from a friend of Tony Acosta of Luthier Music, a good friend of mine. He had this pre-owned guitar listed for significantly more on his website. You can see that we are asking much less.The guitar is beautiful sounding, playing quite easily. The downside is that it has a bit of play wear on the top, sides and back, but mostly on the top. Honest play wear, nothing significant, but there are nail marks all over the finish. My photos can be blown up quite large, so take a hard look. But, the mic has no eyes, only ears and man, this guitar sounds beautiful. I would consider this a major bargain in a finely built German guitar by a known master of the trade.
