There are 3 tiny soundboard blemishes and 2 small back scratches, but we could almost call this guitar mint.
Two carbon struts from butt to heel stabilize the body.
It is a very expressive and loud instrument with great tonal depth, sustain and rich overtones. The moment you start playing you notice the refined color nuances, warmth and clarity. The guitar plays beautifully balanced across all registers and in true Dieter Hopf fashion the craftsmanship is meticulous.
