Description
What makes this guitar special: This gorgeous L-4 CES features a solid carved spruce top and carved solid mahogany back & sides. It's a comfortable 16-inches wide, 20-inches long, and 3 3/8th-inches deep. Finished in vintage sunburst with gold hardware, the guitar is a true beauty in excellent cosmetic condition. Contributing much to the guitar’s silky, lush, deep tone is the one-piece mahogany neck which joins the body at the 15th fret.
