AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Bossa nova guitar in excellent condition.
A true collector's gem, free of defects or significant scratches, and entirely built in the historic workshop in Brazil.

Premium woods:
Brazilian rosewood of extraordinary beauty for the back and sides, German spruce for the top, cedrela for the neck and headstock, ebony for the fretboard. Original Horwath tuners perfectly preserved.
The guitar has the “Testa Negra” headstock, exactly like early-1970s production and the same model played by João Gilberto.

The tone confirms expectations, revealing a sweet, delicate voice with great intensity.

The measurements are classic: 642 - 52, with standard action at 12th fret of 3.5.

The guitar is presented in truly excellent condition as it has been treated with extreme care and delivers a high-quality sound in every register.

This instrument, therefore, is aimed at collectors and guitarists who love bossa nova, but it does not disdain classical or other genres. The fretboard and neck are very comfortable.

On the inside label the signature, date, and model — handwritten — are faded but legible when held to the light (ballpoint pen inscription).

A non-original hard case is provided (the one in the photo is for illustrative purposes only) and the guitar will be shipped in a professionally padded box.
