Hello, time to part with this one- I love it but don't play it, and it should go to someone who will. I'm the second owner (third if you count the original owner's daughter who inherited the guitar but didn't play it). I got some work done on it when I got it, including all new binding (this is very common with this era), a bridge re-glue with custom bone saddle, and a small patch of veneer on the back that had pulled up with the old binding. Neck angle is good and original (never had a reset), nice action and plays great. Work done by Brooklyn Lutherie in 2015. Asking $1995 which is what I have into it.

Short scale (24 5/8") with 1 9/16" nut, round, full neck: 1st Fret: 22.8 mm (.89 inches), 10th fret: 24.9 mm (.98 inches).

No cracks, really nice overall condition. Beautiful sound and LOUD. Loudest F-20 or M-20 sized guitar I've come across. Comes with the original brown canvas bag and a HSC. Will consider trades for similar condition Hoboken F-30 or a pre-2014 Martin 000-28 or similar with 1 11/16" nut, or possibly a vintage Starfire, S-100, or Fender Mustang. From time to time I travel to Boston and New Hampshire, and might consider bringing it that way for a serious buyer.
