This particular Dove is presented in perfect violinburst finish and unblemished. No imperfections. And it plays and sounds as good as it should acoustic or through your amp. A very nicely made guitar and Quality woods used in the manufacture at the Samick Works.......solid spruce top, Maple neck with Laurel fingerboard and Maple back and sides. The tuners are smooth and light, like new. Well, best to make arrangements to come and try.
