This was a blemish guitar but no more than a scratch on the back. I had a low end Taylor & sold to purchase the Applause. I've got to admit, I like my Applause better, great sound & set up, all I had to do was tune & play. Ovations are hard to beat for the money and zZounds did a great job, received the guitar in 4 days. Thanks
