This listing is for the guitar body only; no accessories are included.
It has been cleaned, but please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about age-related scratches, discoloration, or general wear.

The guitar is currently playable in all positions without any buzzing. If it does not sell in this listing, fret replacement is planned, which will increase the price.
Conversely, if you wish to have the frets replaced, please let us know in the comments. This guitar has been played extensively by its previous owner for many years and produces a well-resonant, dry vintage sound. Recommended for players who prioritize tone and are not concerned about scratches or age.
