I am not a dealer but have played classical guitar for 50 years and owned many fine instruments. Specs on this one:  650mm scale, 51.5mm at the nut (probably considered 52), ebody fingerboard, Indian rosewood sides, cedar top, Brazilian rosewood back, label is dated and signed by the maker. These days tonewood like this (especially Brazilian Roseword) is found only in very high end  guitars. The top was recently refinished in French polish by noted luthier Lubos Naprstek The rest of the instrument seems to be nitrocellulose lacquer. The one defect is that there is a slight depression in the soundboard on the bass side of the bridge. Mostly visible in raking light. I removed the old finish myself prior to Lubos' French polishing and was too vigorous in sanding out a ding (see closeup photo). The rest of body looks quite nice with a few nicks here and there. Machines are brand new Schallers. Standard spacing for modern machines is 35mm but back in the 60s and 70s 36mm was common. 36mm is the spacing on this guitar and I went with individual machines after searching a long time for reasonably priced vintage tuners. These are very cool looking machines and work extremely well. The guitar has great sound. I have it strung with D'Addario EJ45 medium tension. Good sustain. Crisp sounding and excellent volume. It's also very easy to play. For another recent sale of a Krog instrument by a German dealer click here.  I have seen other Krogs in the range of 2000 - 3000 euros. I will include a standard hard shell case that sells for around $100. If you bring your own case I will deduct the $100. I live minutes from NYC in Jersey City, New Jersey and would consider delivering the instrument to NYC or North Jersey. Otherwise it's local pickup only. Shipping vintage instruments is problematic and I've decided against doing so. Email me with any questions you have. Take confidence in that I have over 900 transactions and a perfect response rating. Thanks for looking and good luck.
