This is an exceptionally nice & warm sounding 00-28VS that should only be considered by players unafraid of cosmetic bumps and bruises. The guitar was purchased new, in 2009, at TME; and it's been played hard ever since that time. There are numerous top dings, shirt button scratches, and scattered signs of pick wear across the guitar's surfaces. The neck has areas of worn finish on its top shoulder, where one's thumb would wrap over the fingerboard (most noticeable in the first position). In short? This is a player's guitar, with wonderful sound and playability. Priced with its original hard case.
