Description

1968 Taurus 59 Natural Classical Guitar.
This 1968 Taurus 59 Classical Guitar, crafted in Barcelona, Spain, features an Indian rosewood back and sides, an ebony fingerboard, an Indian rosewood headstock overlay and bridge, and a cedar neck. The guitar has a natural finish that highlights the quality materials used. It shows significant playwear with scratches and dents, particularly on the top. There is a tight hairline crack in the top wood, and the fret ends protrude slightly. The low E nut slot buzzes and needs to be replaced and the fingerboard appears to be non-original.
The guitar has a scale length of 650 mm and a nut width of 53 mm.

Original hard case included. Condition: Good.
