This guitar really is in great shape especially for it's age. I've taken several photos so you can see the condition and it will come shipped in a nice hard shell case as pictured. It's marked "36" inside with red pen or ink which I believe denotes the year it was made. The serial number next to it is hard to make out but it looks like 80315? The last 3 numbers are really hard to make out. Anyway, the guitar really is very nice and would be a wonderful addition to any collection. Please take a good look at all the photos and feel free to ask me any questions you have. Thank you.
