USED Antique Noel / AJG980 VS [10]

17" body, New Yorker style full acoustic at a great price!

You can tell it is a Diane Jericho type homage model from the head shape characteristics. The body size is 17 inches, which is the same size as L-5, etc. Spruce top, sides and back are made of sycamore, an alternative to maple. Maple neck with 648mm scale and rosewood fretboard surface. The nut width is 43.5mm. A floating type PU is adopted to take advantage of the acoustic sound, and is finished at 1Vol. The pegs are made of Grover and have a solid high-end feel.

The body has wipe scratches, scuffs, line scratches, and dents. The pickguard has some fine picking scratches overall. There are some line scratches on the upper left part of the top of the body and the left neck, and there are scratches around the bridge from the movement of the bridge. There is a small ding on the lower right edge of the body. There is a paint crack around the body side jack due to tightening. There is a thin line scratch on the right neck of the body side, and there are some fine scratches. There are scratches and line scratches around the body back strap pin. There is a small tiny dot on the left side of the body back, which seems to be from the shipment. There is a thin line scratch on the back of the neck at the 11th floor. There is a small scratch on the tip of the head and finger marks on the fretboard surface, mainly in the low position. There is a small binding chip and a paint crack on the binding of the 6th string side of the neck, but it does not affect the playability. Each hardware is gold, so there are some smudges and chipping. The strings are not grounded, so if you are bothered by the "squeak" noise when the strings are silent, please turn down the volume or use a vol pedal.

The neck condition is fine, and the truss rod can be adjusted in the direction to tighten or loosen, and can still be turned in the direction to tighten. There are no string marks on the frets and about 70% of the strings are left. Currently, the string height is adjusted at about 2.0mm on the 12F 6th string side and about 1.5mm on the 1st string side.

Overall, there are some minor scratches, dents, and line scratches, but there are no major damages that stand out. The floating PU and spruce top have a moderate sound, and the guitar is a good choice for those who want to buy an American-made full acoustic guitar someday. If you are looking for an American-made full acoustico, this is a good choice to get used to the size of this instrument. It has a nice raw sound, so you can keep it by the sofa as a guitar that you can use casually without worrying about it.
