Top is Solid Spruce - Nearly perfect showing minimal signs of wear other than a few light scratches, and small chip in the finish at sound hole - no cracks or repairs. DETAILS: Overall, very good condition with a few VERY SMALL dings and nicks here and there. This particular model does not come up for sale very often and are hard to find since they were only in production for a few years. The rest of the guitar is in remarkable condition for it's age and is 100% structurally sound - Looks and plays great. Not very noticeable but I try to share any and all issues so there are no surprises. There is also a slight discoloration on the back of the headstock (pics 10) and a little scuff / discoloration on the top of the headstock (pic 11) Also, Pic 1 shows a faint diagonal line that is a little lighter in color - this is present in the finish - not a reflection. This finish issue is on the back only and appearance depends on lighting - its very hard to photograph accurately since the finish is glossy, but I am happy to send additional pics or video - just send me a message. Not sure what caused this as it was present when I bought the guitar, but there is no damage - finish is smooth and shiny (just cloudy in spots). The biggest condition issue is some cloudy / milky areas in the finish on the back of the guitar which can be seen in pic 7. This is a beautiful guitar in very good condition for it's age.
