Guitar has extremely minor finish flaw and minor cracks on back (extremely hard to capture in photos. Running with some of the Rosewood grain. Will send pics to those interested in buying). Other than that, it is a extremely well built guitar and can be a great deal for someone inching into the handmade market. I've owned this since 2017 and guitar is extremely stable and hasn't shown any signs of cracks getting worse. Comes with hardshell Ameritage case. Only reason for selling is that I'm unloading a few guitars for a home renovation.

PRICE REDUCED to $3999 shipped. Taking offers. Entertaining trades and partial trades too!
