Condition / Setup Notes
Excellent(+); There is very light wear that can be found in raking light, but it’s all very minor and could be buffed out. And especially considering its age and rarity, it’s in extremely clean shape. Currently with a light set up, low string, from about 4/64”-3/64”, and light relief.
***
Very high cool factor on this one. These JGD guitars were designed by Taku Sakashta, and made by T’s Guitars. Eye-catching unique aesthetics, and a beautiful sound both acoustically and unplugged.
