Nice guitar! A couple of things. She has strap pegs installed in the butt and side of neck. She also has been ported. Nice job, and I believe it helps the guitar, not that she needed it. The guitar sounds incredible. She has honest playing wear, but nothing structural except for a known and stable fissure on the back lower bout. Photos will show you quite a bit of what you might need to see. Please call me at 631-335-5447 if you need further information about this guitar or any of the guitars mentioned. Rich _________ About Felix Manzanero Another of the great master builders from the Ramirez 1A family, Felix Manzanero moved on to his own facility, building master level instruments. Built in 1968, using the finest materials available to him, you will find this guitar to be a gem in terms of sound and playability. The action is higher closer to 5mm, but the guitar plays very easily. She is a bit bigger in the depths, probably accounting for her old school boom in the basses. She is so beautiful, one of those guitars you wish you could keep out of her case and just look at her, being inspired to play it. She is deep sounding, beautifully balanced, with clear trebles that sing. The neck is perfect. It doesn’t get much better than this in an aged and mature instrument built by one of the great masters. _______ Media Listening with high quality headphones or audio equipment is highly recommended MP3 Audio – 200124-Felix Manzanero 1968 Cedar CSA – seriously nice guitar, with a beauty of a voice. She is so fat and round sounding with sing in the trebles. https://www.savageclassical.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/200124-Felix-Manzanero-1968-Cedar-CSA.mp3 My Solo Book of sheet music is available here if you’re interested. https://savageclassical.com/product/richard-f-sayage-solo-guitar-works-volume-1/ _______ Shipping: Premium Single Arch Top or Double Arch HSC is included in your purchase price.
