About this item: Sl-3 Grand Concert, there are a few tiny finish marks and 1 ding on the edge of the top.There is slight finish checking on the neck perpendicular to the grain. This guitar is very hard to explain as it is so extraordinary among even other of the same make. it is in time capsule condition, a remarkable jewel of its time. The neck profile is fast, glossy, and comfortable, it is flat in the middle to provide very flexible grip and it has a very light touch, no cowboy chords on this one.It was made in Sweden with extraordinary construction techniques, featuring a skunk stripe in the neck. It has a fairly tall bridge but it doesn't affect playing on the lower frets or intonation. The higher frets slope into the body of the guitar for some very strange reason. The shoulders are extremely square looking, and wider than usual. The frets are flat heads, the fretboard says only 1 person ever played for a little bit, it has straight angle but rounded fretboard edges, it looks extremely flat almost like a polished surface. the nut is exceptional. The tuners are golden along with the fret markers.Specifications:Body length: 475 mm.Scale length: 650 mm.Fingerboard width: 50 mm.Spruce top with fan bracing.Mahogany back & sides.7-ply wood bound top.Single-bound back.7-piece mahogany neck with adjustable truss rod.Mahogany herringbone veneered headstock.Unbound extended ebony fingerboard.Rosewood bridge.Engraved gold plated strip tuners.Natural finish.Mahogany is my preferred neck Tonewood and the ebony fingerboard is very smooth, it has very little drag or wear.Espana guitars were made in many factories and different that changed over the years, this guitar is essentially an excellent Bjärton ca1962.***ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS PICTURED*** Thank you for supporting The Gift of Music Foundation!
