Details
We’ve had a lot of 12-fret guitars come in over the years and are always happy to be reminded how delightful it is to play them. The mixture of shorter scale length (24 7/8”) and the placement of the bridge provides a pleasant departure from the standard feel of a 14th fret, and most players will appreciate their slightly warmer sound. The combination of Cedar top and solid Tropical Mahogany gives this particular guitar a warm, yet balanced tone. For its size, it’s got a fair amount of volume; it’s not going to be a replacement for your old D-28 but will be the perfect fit for someone looking for a responsive guitar that works well with a more reserved and intimate right-hand attack.
For being an 11-year-old instrument, it’s in excellent cosmetic condition, and it is clear that it was carefully maintained. There are few instances of slight scratches that become apparent when you scrutinize the instrument — the most noticeable being a small grouping of dings on the back of the guitar. Otherwise, it’s in fantastic shape. The frets show a small amount of play but are in perfect working order and free from any serious divots.
