Found a nice US made DC-1E, and from the serial no. was made in 1997. Was wondering why even though it's a cutaway it still has D-1E on the ID plate on the neck block? Strings look like they are 10 years old at least and the case is shredded -has lots of the tolex missing.
Has a small repaired split on the top and another small one on the back. (no humidifier) Otherwise in nice shape. Put down payment on it and selling a couple of guitars, a Takamine (sold) and an Ovation Anniversary to finance purchase.
