1990s Hohner Gruhn Design F-1 Small Jumbo Guitar

This is the second one of these Gruhn Design guitars I've had through the shop. It's a Korean-made, J-185-shaped, Alvarez-Yairi-sounding, great-playing guitar that would serve as anyone's daily player. This one's quite clean, too, with only replacement tuners and the mildest playwear to show for its age. The elegant shape, trim, and features give it a respectable look to boot.

It has a solid spruce top with x-bracing and the back and sides appear to be ply mahogany.

Repairs included: a fret level/dress and setup.
