This is a gorgeous and exuberant sounding classical guitar.The back is a book matched Indian rosewood, while the brilliant tone of the top is made of fine grained cedar. Finally, The fingerboard is a good cut of ebony, which is glass smooth. The guitar exudes a briliant, deep, dark tone- No major damage has ever occurred with the guitar, it has only some typical scratches on the back, and front. The back of the headstock seems to have been cosmetically touched up. Also, there are deeper nicks on the top: One on the top near the back of the bridge, and some other nicks on the top edge of the binding. Lastly, there is a 1" varnish split at the lower part of the fingerboard near the sound hole. Other than that, the neck is very true. This will come with a guitar case; however it is not the original one. Any further questions about the guitar, its tone, and its lineage of owners, please contact me. Serious buyers only.
