Before reading the description of this item, I urge you to first check out my Ebay Seller Feedback. As you will see, my feedback is not only 100% positive--it's over-the-top giddy, a number noting not only the instrument's quality but also my integrity and knowledge and objectivity. I never disappoint. (To find out why buyers again and again describe my sells as "best experience I've ever had on Ebay," skip the description and see the WHAT I DO section at the end of the listing.)*******************MAKE OFFER--I can always say no or counter.
If you're reading this, you're almost certainly familiar with the model, as it's pretty much been the affordable Industry Standard of classical guitars since it introduction in the 1970s. Still built (but not nearly as well or with wood as good as this one), it has a solid top, solid back, and, like the Ramirez guitars it was partially modeled after, double-sided ribs.
Unlike the Ramirez, it is remarkably easy to play--this one not only has low action (3.8mm on low E at 12th with a ton of room to lower saddle) but sounds GREAT and has very few signs of wear. A few very minor scratches and dings the photos didn't pick up; frets are in great shape.
Built in 1992, what I would consider a "sweet spot" year--well within the Golden Era (1978 - 1998); old enough to have the one thing you can't build into a guitar, the sound of age, but new enough to have a straight neck and no issues.
Case is made in Canada and is immaculate.
I've sold 4 of these and this one is the best deal all around--best overall condition, lowest action, great sound, great case but for about the same price at which I offered the others.
Note: The shipping charge of $35 won't come anywhere close to covering shipping; more than anything else, it's a disincentive to people buying to "try out." I'm allowing offers on this one, but margin is thin--if you shop around, you'll see that this one is VERY competitively priced. It will sell within a week--if you want it, grab it; lowballers will not be honored with a response.
Also, feel free to inquire: I've got a very rare Yamaha GD Grand Concert in terrific condition, also low action, great price: 706-372-4310.

WHAT I DO
For over a decade, I have searched out guitars of every conceivable sort, always looking for the unique instrument, especially those that are, 1.) great deals; and/or 2.) possessed of real character. I take care to ensure that each guitar is set up and playable as is--new strings, action as described, NO ISSUES: If you get it from me, it's ready to play out of the box. My prices are always competitive, usually well below what a similar instrument comparably set up would sell for elsewhere. A few typical Ebay feedbacks (some from repeat buyers):
Fantastic! As promised. Great communication. Great guitar. COMPLETELY SATISFIED!
