New Shop Worn Ramirez model 2NE. Built in late 2012, this guitar is virtually unplayed and comes with full warranty.
A customer bopped the top with another guitar last week and put two chips in the top near the edge of the upper bout. They are filled with fresh finish, so the top is protected, but it is not invisible.

They are based on steel-string instruments, are intended to be strummed or plucked, and the neck is narrow enough that you can use your thumb for fretting!
