IMPORTANT BUYER NOTICE & DISCLAIMER

Please read carefully before purchasing:

· Setup Preferences: The guitar is currently strung and playable. However, string gauge, intonation, and action setup are highly personal matters. If, after purchase, the buyer is not satisfied with the strings, intonation, or action setup, or wishes to adjust the action to suit their own playing style, these adjustments must be made by the buyer at their own expense.

· Vintage Condition: This is a vintage instrument, not a brand-new guitar. I have described it as accurately as possible and provided detailed photos of the actual instrument you will receive. Please review all images carefully and feel free to message me with any questions or requests for specific photos before purchasing.
