This guitar has a considerable amount of bridge lift, although it remains playable in first position. There is also an approximately half-inch puncture hole in the side of the body that has received minor filler work, but the damage remains visible. The lifting bridge is a significant structural concern, particularly given the string tension of a 12-string guitar, and will likely require professional attention. The instrument is priced accordingly, with these limitations taken into account. Includes the original hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn interesting vintage Italian 12-string for someone comfortable with its current limitations or looking for a restoration project.
