Got guitar from guitarist with The Fortunes and he bought it from a store in New York. It is a really comfortable easy guitar to play and is set up with a nice action with 11's. Neck is a cross between 50's and 60's profile and has some light fret wear which should not cause any playability issues for some time yet.
Case is worn from gigging but could be restored with some love and care.
Health issues dictate that a slightly lighter instrunment is required.
