The guitar is in fair shape. Definitley not mint cond. but also not poor. I also have the orginial case as well as the song books it came with. I am guessing it was a "package" deal. I was really impressed with some of the songs and exercises in the book. I recently changed the strings, but kept the ones he had on before that were probably 20+ yrs old. I put on Martin vintage series medium/light gauge. Now, I read a few comments before that medium/lights were almost too much tension for the bridge, if that is so let me know someone that way, I can change them.

thanks for the feedback.

i love the sound the guitar puts out. in my opinion I wouldnt spend the money on a brand new guitar, when i can play this one.
