Manuel Velazquez guitar 1974. I am not a guitar person. I am very aware of the value though. One time I emailed Manuel’s son, and he confirmed that it was definitely real, and I think he said the case was original too. I took it to a guitar shop, and they said that the neck was straight, I guess the neck is supposed to have a slight bend to it. They said it was an easy fix that would cost $300, I figured it would be better to let the future owner have this done. Other than that they said it was in “good” condition. Let me know if you have any questions. I tried to take good photos. Like I said before I know the value.
