Garcia No. 3 Classical Guitar with the original hard case.  Made in 1972.  This is a vintage 1972 Garcia Classical Guitar Grade 3,  It is handcrafted from select premium woods and materials.   The top is made from select Spanish Pine. The back and sides are made from East Indian Walnut.  The neck is ceder,  and the Head Stock, Heel cap, and Bridge are all make of Indian Rosewood. The Fingerboard is Granadillo.   This instrument is a very good condition for it's age.  There has never been any physical damage, cracking, or delamination.  The guitar has never been repaired or refinished.  The neck is straight, and the action has been adjusted for classical style guitar (see photos).  The front of the guitar does show strum markings when viewed at an angle and the fingerboard shows wear in positions one, two, three, and less in four and five(see photos).  The back does show some fine scuff marks from shirt buttons, guitar stands, and paper music in the case, but there is NO buckle rash...The case is the original hard case, that came with the instrument.  It has two large "Fragile" Eastern airline stickers  on it.  There is also some delamination of the venial at the top end, in front of the handle and above the handle. This could be repaired but I have not done so.It is an excellent instrument for a beginning to intermediate classical guitar student.  It would make a fine fun guitar, for Finger Style or Folk music as well.  If you have any questions please message me and I will be happy to answer any questions.
