I am the original owner of the guitar. The guitar is in excellent to near new condition and has been kept in a moisture controlled environment. I purchased it from Michael in 2012. This is the highest quality instrument made by Saga-Gitane.

I had Michael's luthier (Josh) install a clear pickguard ($30), Fret Dress, Custom Ebony Bridge, Restring, Tailpiece Leather, Adjust Action and Truss Rod ($215), Install Strap Button in Heel and Endpin ($20). The guitar also comes with a TKL Deluxe Gypsy Jazz Case - Black ($95). So new, this guitar sells for $1,960 with the optimizations and case.
