CASE is NOT included, I just used it for standing the guitar up, it does come with a gig bag and will be safely thoroughly packed. I am not sure on the vintage as the serial number look up resulted in 1968-70-71-or 72. So I picked 1968 lol.

Very nice 1968 B15! These guitars are known for their sweet tone and easily wield-able size, lending itself particularly well to old school blues flat top playing. This one has aged beautifully with all the mojo, some strum wear, nitro checking, and buckle rash, with awell loved history including my own over the past 20 years. It has mostly been in the studio since I have owned it and I have recoreded with it several times because of it's unique tones.

It has mahogany back and sides with a spruce top, adjustable rosewood bridge with rosewood saddle - likely contributing to its mellow tone - as well as a rosewood fretboard. Original pick guard, as are truss rod cover and original tuners. This one plays well and sounds very nice with a neck that is easy to manage for all hand sizes. This is a smaller body guitar with a angelic tone that ranges from almost oriental to a bluesy bellicose.

As above, cosmetically it shows various wear to include scratches, dings, nitro checking, etc. The neck set is tight, as is the original bridge set showing no separation. The fretboard very clean and the frets have lots of life left.

Shipping in the lower 48 USA is free and included.

Worldwide shipping (anywhere other than the lower 48 states USA) is $200 or less depending on your location. THIS PRICE WILL MOST LIKEY BE MUCH LOWER DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE. Overseas buyers just need to pay the up front upon purchase and I will refund you any difference after your item ships. I will only charge you actual shipping charges and not for packing, handling, or boxes. I do this with everyone so you do not need to request it. I will also include an amount that I would have spent on domestic shipping as a credit as well. So, shipping rebate will be; difference in the Shipping rate PLUS a credit. I will provide a shipping receipt upon request.

Thank you for looking
