Purchased new in February 2025. This item is in excellent condition, like a display model. Top: Engelmann Spruce Solid Wood (A.R.E) Sides & Back: Rosewood After purchase, the strings were replaced with extra light gauge (brand forgotten) and it was mostly displayed without being played. The guitar was adjusted with light gauge strings at the time of purchase, so the neck is straight to slightly back bowed. The truss rod moved in both directions. I think it will be just right if you put light gauge strings on it, so I'm selling it in its current condition. If you absolutely want me to put light gauge strings on it to check, please consult with me. At the 12th fret, the 6th and 1st strings are both about 2.2mm. The saddle also has room, so I think you can adjust it to your liking. Passive pickup built-in. Comes with a soft case, but it's a vintage item from about 50 years ago, and part of the strap attachment is broken, so you probably can't carry it like a backpack. Please consider it as part of the packaging for shipping. Regarding A.R.E. on the top, copied from the manufacturer's page: ■A.R.E. [Acoustic Resonance Enhancement] is a wood modification technology independently researched and developed by Yamaha. By applying this technology to the body wood of a guitar, it achieves a rich sound like it has been played for many years. Without using any chemicals, by precisely controlling temperature, humidity, and pressure, it creates changes similar to the aging of wood that has been through a long period after being sawn, in a short period of time, thereby improving sound transmission and vibration efficiency, promoting the extension of mid-low frequency components and increasing the rise and decay of high frequency components. For this reason, a well-balanced, warm sound with few unpleasant overtones is obtained. It is a high-spec model with a solid Engelmann Spruce top. It will be shipped in a soft case and cardboard box. Immediate purchase is welcome＾＾
