Made in 2011. Purchased new from a musical instrument store. The color is blue satin. It's a maple-top, mahogany-body guitar, allowing you to fully appreciate the feel of the wood. It was used for about six months, and then stored in the original case with a humidifier, and regularly cared for. There is a slight chip on the back (as indicated by the red mark in the photo), but it's hardly noticeable from a distance. Otherwise, it's in good condition. Comes with the original case and owner's manual.
