In very good condition with the exception of a pair of marks in the front, lower bout - no crack; checked out by Kevin - just the marks as can be seen in the photos which have been steamed up to lessen the depth.
The back, sides, neck, head and fingerboard are in beautiful, near-new condition.

Using very high quality materials and made with great skill and passion, Kevin Aram produces fine instruments that appeal to guitarists appreciating traditional guitar-making and sounds of the early great master makers.
