Description
What makes this guitar special? This is a very clean C-1 Elite that plays as good as it looks. The headstock is matched to the gorgeous amber quilt top, both of which, plus the neck, are bound in abalone and cream. The cut of rosewood used for the fretboard is a great dark contrast to the depth and light movement that occurs in the quilt top, giving the whole aesthetic a striking yet classy appeal. On top of it all, with the setup our techs have given it, it plays absolutely fantastic up and down the neck, even into the upper frets provided by the Ultra Access design. At this price, a guitar that plays and looks this great won’t last long, so don’t wait.
Condition: This C-1 Elite is in excellent condition overall and plays just as well. It does have various minor surface scratches, most of which are on the back, but overall, still constitutes a very clean figure. The neck is straight and truss rod functions as it should. The frets show only light wear and still have a ton of life in them.
