From the listing

Seller's description

Stunning craftsmanship! Exceptional sound! The flagship model of Astorias Original Guitars. The all-solid body features a Florentine cutaway, with a German spruce top and Indian rosewood sides and back. The top features uniquely shaped scalloped X-bracing, and the rosette and purfling, crafted from Mexican abalone, shimmer beautifully. The mahogany neck (soft V-shape style) has a 645.2mm long scale with a diamond volute and a nut width of approximately 43mm. It features a lavish “Tree of Life” inlay made of mother-of-pearl and an ebony fingerboard with maple binding. The headstock is equipped with GOTOH 510 Gold tuning pegs. This is a model predating the current specifications. Made in Japan Since its arrival, it has been cleaned, restrung, had its truss rod adjusted, and its frets leveled. The truss rod has been checked up to 60 degrees in both directions and is functioning properly; the frets still have sufficient height for playing. The sides and back of the body, as well as the top of the headstock, have developed a cloudy white patina due to age. There is some bulging on the body top beneath the bridge, but the string action is proper and the guitar plays smoothly. The body has a gloss finish, and while the neck and headstock were likely originally satin-finished, the back of the neck has developed a sheen from extensive playing. There are scattered dents of varying sizes on the body, the back of the neck (notably larger near the 4th and 6th frets), and the edges of the headstock. In addition, there are signs of wear and aging, such as scuffs and scratches (with a longer one on the lower-left corner of the body top), but playability is excellent! Both the response and sustain are outstanding! The response when playing with your fingers is particularly pleasant! Other Condition Grade: B: Shows significant scratches and signs of wear, but is perfectly fine for normal use Serial No.: 31303 Accessories: Universal hard case
