An ideal songwriters / performer guitar featuring incredible power and resonance. Ease of playing is due to it’s slightly wider nut width and its short scale is so soft and comfortable. The Birdseye Maple neck, back and sides are of the highest quality. This early slope shoulder dreadnought is perfect for the artists and songwriters. From the largest venue to your music room at home, its brilliant sound blends perfectly with vocals creating a bond between the lyrics and music like you’ve never heard before. There will be no need to need to fear putting the first ding in this instrument as it has a small souvenir from its first recording session. This is a Brand New Guitar and I marked it’s condition Mint as the as a result of this incident. See attached photo of ding in lacquer in the top of the guitar. This blemish does not affect the playability in any way.
