DR-3ERS version not the DR-3ERS/CDS. All solid wood quality book matched rosewood back and sides. The top is medium grained book matched spruce with no knots in it at all. Binding throughout including headstock! Large frets and quality rosewood fretboard. Dots look to be MOP. I am pleased at the overall build of this instrument. It is made as well as a Japanese instrument from the 70's. Scalloped braces throughout body with X braced top. Cheap passive electric system that plugs in at strap button below the bridge in the bout. Small button tuners probably 14-1 ratio. Plastic nut, saddle and bridge pins. Bridge is rosewood. I bought mine used for $9.95. It has a 3 1/2" crack in the top from sitting with the heavy gauge strings on too tight in an arid hot room for too long of a time. It sounds tinny, but that is the dull strings that came with it. I am sure a better sounding pair of Martin XP's would sound so much better. If I were looking new for one like this I would expect to pay $300-375 for it The action is very low already. The truss rod adjustment is in the sound hole. The neck is very thin and easy to play and hold. It weighs exactly 4 pounds. A good quality active pick up would be better. So would a set of bone nut, saddle and bridge pins.
