It has good volume and responds well to a strong touch, offering a satisfying playing experience.

@There are touch-up marks on both sides and the waist due to manufacturing errors. 2 locations.

@No other issues such as bracing separation, buzzing, fret lifting, or catching. It is currently in comfortable playing condition.
