Performance is key in a guitar, a great tone is paramount, but the playability of the instrument can make all the difference. This 1981 example from Nick Kukich is a stunning rendition of a traditional dreadnought. Typically known for his work with OM and Jumbo models, Nick pursues a larger tonal range and impressive wood choice with this Herringbone example. For its age, this guitar is in very good condition with some superficial scratching scattered across the instrument and a small area of light finish irritation from a strap towards the heel of the neck. The guitar did receive a neck reset to sustain its life and improve playability. This guitar has a beautiful soundscape that rounds out every note with a bold Rosewood tone found in some of the finest Herringbone dreadnoughts.

Comes with the original hard shell case
