This Sergei de Jonge 3/4 Size Classical was my uncle's guitar - he knew Sergei well, and this was 1 of 4 guitars he purchased from de Jonge between 1998 and 1999. Built in 1999, my uncle was the only owner of this guitar. Owning many guitars, he rarely played this one, keeping it in excellent condition and humidified in its original hardshell case its whole life. The guitar is in excellent condition - there are zero cracks, chips, or scratches on the instrument and zero buzzing anywhere on the fretboard. Action is a little low at 2mm.

On 23 Sep 2023, the guitar was serviced at Topaz Guitar Repair here in Las Vegas, NV for a full setup, fret level, crown dress and polish, bridge glue down, and all 6 nut slots raised.

My uncle passed away just over 10 years ago, and I've slowly been helping my aunt sell his guitars ever since (and keeping some for myself). This is the last of the collection. Would love this guitar to go to a good home.

Beautiful little guitar, but I'm trying to figure out how a classical with a very short scale/low tension could have 2mm action and no damping going on anywhere on the fingerboard.

My uncle had the saddle lowered on this guitar for the 2mm action.
