| 2018 | $750 | excellent | Chris | I feel like I stole this wonderfully hand crafted limited edition guitar. They are worth twice the price if not more and will only increase in value. Made only one year. I've not been able to find how many they made but I do know this is the first year of the Sante Fe series another reason she is a keeper |
