This is a great travel guitar. You can take it on the plane with you. It fits in any size car's trunk. It's also great for hiking, as it's light and compact. Also, the gig back allows for some extra cloth items to be fit!
These guitars are no longer made, rare and increase in price over the years. This one is in excellent condition with very minor signs of use, such as a few small dings and scratches, hardly noticeable. Some very light wear on the neck, but no damage to the wood. It sounds great and has a story to tell about Bob Taylor's teacher. You'll enjoy it!
