Rare! James JD800 Excellent Condition

This is a sunburst JD800 from the early days, a hidden gem known for its excellent quality, completely different from the current James models.
A thick pickguard has been added.
The sticker inside the soundhole was not to my liking, so I removed it (please check the photos).
Although no strings are attached in the photos, I have strung it for this listing to check the neck condition and string height.
The neck is straight, and the string height at the 12th fret, 6th string, is approximately 2.2-2.5mm. Please check the photos (slight errors are to be expected).
The craftsmanship is excellent, so you can lower the string height considerably if you play aggressively.
The frets are conservatively estimated at around 80%.
I am very fond of this guitar and own four of the same model. However, as I am getting older and my preferences have shifted to compact guitars like Anuenue, I am selling this one as part of a gear clear-out.
It features a rich, resonant sound with solid bass, overall gloss, and a weighty, substantial feel. (A Shimamura Music store employee praised this era of James guitars, saying they were truly excellent and that it's impossible to create this quality with these materials at this price today.)
The top is likely solid spruce, the back is solid rosewood, and the sides are likely rosewood laminate.
I believe it is in beautiful condition, but there are minor scratches.
Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to such details.
Pick-up is also possible in Seya Ward, Yokohama City. (Please note that due to the thick semi-hard case, it cannot be shipped via RakuRaku Mercari便's 160 size, so please understand.)
