Such a sweet guitar to play. Though it has wear it's still in beautiful playing condition. As you can see on the auction page it does have some buckle rash but it has not affected the playability of this guitar. This guitar was rather hard to find information for. Based on what I found I believe it to be accurate or at least damn close!!! If you have any questions or comments it would be much appreciated! Thanks for your time! - Thanks!
