[Instrument information]
This guitar is No.20 used in 1977. The back is a Latin American rosewood specification, and that was a high-end model of this brand at the time. The head shape is a Robert Bouchet model, but in reality, the his own ingenuity has been added considerably.Resonance is set just below G #.
Small scratches and dents on the entire sound board, but it is a level suitable for the age.
No problems with playability as necks, frets, and spools. Ivory is used for the nuts.
