The 514 is their grand auditorium format — a body style that sits between a dreadnought and a parlor in both volume and responsiveness, making it versatile for fingerpicking and moderate strumming alike. The maple binding on both top and back contrasts cleanly against the rosewood and spruce, and the clear pickguard keeps the top visible. The 1-3\/4\" nut width and relatively flat 16\" radius suggest a player-focused setup oriented toward comfortable chord work and single-note lines without excess string tension. Irish lutherie at this level of spec — Engelmann spruce, solid rosewood, Gotoh hardware, Tusq nut and saddle — reflects thoughtful material selection across the build.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar plays perfectly and has been well cared for before its arrival here.  The frets show little wear.  It is set up with low, comfortable action and sounds beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngelmann spruce over rosewood in a grand auditorium body with a 25.5\" scale length and 16\" fretboard radius produces a well-balanced, articulate instrument — the spruce top delivers clarity and note separation, while the rosewood back and sides contribute warmth and sustain in the low-mids. The pinless rosewood bridge and Tusq saddle keep string transfer clean and direct. This JKM 514 comes in at excellent condition throughout — top, back, sides, neck, and fretboard all show no issues. Action is a low and even 2\/32\" on both the first and sixth strings at the 12th fret. A K\u0026amp;K Pure Mini pickup with volume control is installed as an original feature, so it's stage-ready without modification. Gotoh 510 matte black tuners at an 18:1 gear ratio round out a well-specified package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe find no issues to report. No cracks, no repairs, no non-original parts, and no odor. The original finish is intact and in excellent shape. The guitar comes with its original JKM-branded Hiscox molded case, also in excellent condition, and documentation is included. Strings are a 12-56 drop D set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eColor: natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 4lbs 2.5oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOverall Length: 41\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Width: 1-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eString Spacing At Bridge: 2.295\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eScale Length: 25.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 1st String At 12th Fret: 2\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 6th String At 12th Fret: 2\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInlay: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 1st Fret: .769\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 10th Fret: .887\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuner Brand And Model: Gotoh 510 Matt Black (18:1 gear ratio)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuners Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChanges To Headstock For Tuners?: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTruss Rod Cover: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Original: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Material: Tusq\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Material: rosewood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Radius: 16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Count: 21\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Length: 20-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eLower Bout: 15-7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWaist: 10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eUpper Bout: 11-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Depth\/Thickness: 4-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Material: Engelmann Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Cracks: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding: maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBack \u0026amp;
