De Gama 5100 Classical Acoustic Guitar 1960s-70s Japan

Description: An ode to the Japanese guitar era, this De Gama shows typical wear, including scratches and dinks to the finish but is in very good condition with no structural issues or damage beyond typical wear, scratches and dinks to the finish. Headstock edges show wear. Neck is straight with action set at the lower end of classical specifications. Action can be raised with a new saddle for those who prefer higher action. The bone saddle is new, and since this guitar could handle the lower action, it's set at 3 mm at the 6th string and 2.5 mm at the 1st string at the 12th fret. If buyer wants higher action, I'm happy to include this lower saddle plus one set at buyer's higher specifications. The top is bookmatched. On both sides of the soundhole, the top shows a bit of figure in the grain that in the photos looks like possible damage but is not.
