Description
circa 1981 Gurian J-K Natural Acoustic Guitar, Serial #D-1797.Gurian guitars are highly regarded for their meticulous craftsmanship and distinctive voice. The use of koa-a less common tonewood in Gurian's output-adds a bright, focused tonal quality that pairs beautifully with the warmth and responsiveness of the spruce top. The J-K body size offers excellent balance between projection and comfort, making it ideal for fingerstyle and light strumming. With its unplayed condition and boutique heritage, this guitar represents a rare opportunity to acquire a nearly untouched example from one of the pioneers of the American luthier movement.
Original hard case included. Condition: Excellent.
