This guitar is one of the best sounding guitars for recording that we have ever had come through the shop! It sounds amazing in person as well, it has been in Robin's personal guitar collection.
The guitar has had the bridge re-glued and back cracks repaired. Also, the delicate French polished top was played with gusto, so the French polish has been repaired. The scratches from former play are still slightly visible, but the top feels smooth as glass. This professional work was completed by Patrick's Guitar Repair in NY. The guitar is in excellent minus condition.
