This instrument is part of the short series manufactured by Vestax, in Japan in the early 2000s, and which has already acquired a good reputation among lovers of jazz, archtops and beautiful lutherie. This model is in excellent condition, without repair. The guitar is mounted with a recent Johnny Smith type pickup and supplied with the original pickup which is in the case. Very easy to reassemble, just a soldering point if necessary. The guitar is perfectly playable and already sounds very good unplugged. It comes with its certificate of authenticity and its original case also in very good condition.
