Built in the summer of 1980 in beautiful Victoria, BC, Canada. This great sounding guitar features a solid Sitka spruce top with abalone binding, solid East Indian rosewood back and sides, Ebony fretboard with pearl and abalone inlay and an ornate Eagle and serpent headstock inlay. There is some wear and tear on the guitar, but the top has opened up and has rich, balanced sound, lush low end and singing high notes. This guitar would be great in the studio, or mic'd up for live performance, and ships with hardshell case.
