    Description

    Clear, articulate tone, even across all the strings.  A sweet little feather-light guitar with lots of character.
    The neck is (true to this model's spec's) a narrow 1-9/16" wide at the nut, so is best suited for smaller hands, though I wear XL-size gloves and can manage it OK.
    The action is 3mm (1/8") @ the 12th fret.  I have it strung with Martin MA130FX silk and bronze (appropriately low in tension to suit the instrument's light construction, IMO), and it plays well.
    There are no major repairs that I can see.  The endpin hole was enlarged to fit a jack which has been replaced with a "No-Jack" endpin. A strap button is added to the heel.  The finish has the expected cracking and flaking, but is mostly intact, and may have been lightly oversprayed.
    Included is a like-new heavy-duty gig bag, which fits the guitar very nicely.
