Guitar was mfg on Nov 26th 1997 D-03 Has been played a lot over the years professionally. Mostly about 4 superficial FINISH ONLY cracks in the top and One into the wood. The back has one center seam crack that again is only in the finish. All of the cracks have been fully repaired. Either with Cleats or Braces across them for extra protection. They are all very well closed and sealed. Can hardly see any of them now. Guitar has been completely set up with super low action, all the frets polished and crowned and smooth. No wear on the board for it has been completely cleaned up and polished as well. Truss Rod works perfect. I installed a Passive K&K Mini Pickup in the guitar that sounds great. Has strong Bass from the years of already opening up. New 12 g Gibson Strings and I believe the original Hard Case that is super clean on the inside but pretty beat up on the outside. Still works well. If you play LEFT HANDED then this one is as good as they come now. You will never find another one of this model as good a player as this one now for this kind of money! I do not take Apps, Checks, Money Orders, etc. Just green bills known as American Currency......Can be played anytime for I work from home.
