While I am not familiar with this guitar, I do know the seller (TJ) and can vouch for his integrity. I have dealt with him many times over the years; buying, selling, and consigning, and have nothing but praises for his honesty and character. I'm sure that whoever buys this piece will be very pleased with him as a seller.
