Select Adirondack Red Spruce top with Ivoroid binding. Honduran Rosewood back and sides, also with Ivoroid binding. Mahogany neck with Ivoroid binding.

This guitar is extremely good. There is very little player wear, and has the advantage of having a few years to open up tonally. There are just a few minor nicks in the top. The top is an upgraded piece of Adirondack Spruce, with beautiful grain pattern.

This guitar, if ordered new today, would cost lots more.
Seems a smart choice to buy this one, with very little evidence of prior ownership.
Comes with excellent TKL 5-ply AVS Case.
