  • Comments: "This is your chance to own a legendary Bluegrass guitar. These guitars were made famous by Doc Watson who still plays them. This one has been played just enough to make it sing, but not enough to cause any visible damage. It's in really excellent condition and is definitely a good value if you are looking for a poweful Bluegrass instrument." - Al Petteway
