What makes this guitar special:  A fabulous, small body 12-string with a sweet, rich voice & sparkling sustain.  Professionally inspected & set up by the experts at Cream City Music, so she's ready for action straight out of the case.Cosmetic Condition:  Really nice shape for its age with typical play wear - various nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, pick wear, weather checking & some finish wear.  There are a couple of very minor top cracks due to pickguard shrinkage.  Neither have been repaired & they're both fairly inconsequential.  There's a bit of binding shrinkage in the body waist, but nothing missing.  Overall the guitar has a wonderful, true vintage look to it with a gorgeous patina.Neck:  Nicely rounded mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard & cream side-dots.  Frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Mother of pearl Guild & Chesterfield headstock inlays.  Open-back strip tuners are in perfect working condition.  1 7/8" nut width; 25 1/2" scale length.  Neck is straight & plays great up & down the fretboard.  String height at the 12th fret is about 3/16" & there's still room on the saddle.Body:  Solid spruce top with 7-ply binding.  Rosewood bridge with cream end pins.  Double tortoise pickguards & multi-ring rosette.  Solid mahogany sides & back with 3-ply binding.  16" lower bout width; 11 1/2" upper bout width; 5" depth.  There is no pickup; guitar weighs 4 lbs 14.5 oz.Case:  Original hardshell case included.  The handle has been replaced & the locking clasp doesn't always stay closed.
