Stunning guitar that plays beautifully and sounds killer as yo you’d expect. Very close to excellent condition but I’d rather under-promise and over-deliver rather than the other way around. The guitar has minor cosmetic imperfections - namely some staining around the rear upper and lower bout as you can see in the pics, a small ding on the back, various swirlies and nearly-invisible scratches as you’d expect on an 18 year old guitar. Frets are excellent as you can see in the photos, with negligible wear. Tremolo works perfectly and the guitar stays in tune. I bought it from a professional jazz player out of Shreveport, LA and it’s set up accordingly. If you love vintage Olympic white you’ll really appreciate this guitar - it’s the soft white that gets a hint of gold patina over time. I tried to take pics with different shadowing and light so you can see it, but it’s simply a beautiful guitar!

Original case and candy are included as pictured, the case is mostly in excellent condition but has one small tear that likewise bumps it down to very good.

I've put what I think are a decent assortment of photos but I'm happy to answer any questions AND send you as many photos as you want.

Shipping costs are on the rise, and my shipping price covers box and materials, AND Reverb's insurance which will run around $45 on this guitar.  It will be packaged well in an appropriate box, usually with an extra layer of cardboard on the sides (where possible) in addition to bubble, foam, etc as necessary to protect while in transit. 

Please note that I also check shipping prices, fully insured, through Shipnerd and reserve the right to ship through them if Reverb rates seem inordinately high.  They invariably partner with UPS just like reverb, and tracking is still provided through reverb, but also through Shipnerd and the carrier.

Also, I list all my for sale items across multiple platforms (Facebook Marketplace, gear page, a few bulletin boards, and by word of mouth among my guitar buddies and at jams). Obviously, my Louisiana peeps have an advantage buying locally, but Reverb is an amazing marketplace and I price my items competitively. I entertain reasonable offers and try as hard as I can to be a straight shooter and describe items and answer questions accurately and honestly. If you're watching this guitar and it suddenly vanishes, I may have temporarily deleted the listing if I've agreed to show the guitar to someone locally in the immediate future. Usually someone willing to drive to Baton Rouge to see gear is legitimately prepared to buy but if such a deal fall through I’ll reactivate the listing and it should come up again in your follow list.

Thanks for looking,

 And please read my feedback, I try hard to be fair and honest in my descriptions, pricing and dealings.
