One ding in the spruce top at the very lower bout, a couple small ones at the upper bout and a couple small ones on the side where the body rests on the leg.

A small bit of glue must have emerged and dried where the nut meets the first fret when they replaced the nut with bone (does not affect the playability, could likely be sanded or filed off easily).

This guitar can do it all, from tasty finger style to soaring leads then bring it all back to a lush strum. Comes with a vintage hard shell case (possibly original, but no way to know for sure). Condition: This instrument is in wonderful condition considering its age and that it is a 12-string guitar. No visible cracks in the wood of the instrument and the binding is in great shape. Only light dings, dents, nicks and superficial finish checking here and there. As mentioned earlier in this description this guitar plays remarkably well.
