With Stage 1 Aging, the guitar features beautifully woody tones across every register, offering warmth and a bold, resonant voice. The aged, thin nitrocellulose lacquer finish is tastefully done, making this one of the most convincing and artfully aged relics we’ve encountered. Comfortable in hand and full of character, this guitar also comes with a hardshell case.
