Description

Cosmetic Condition:  Sweet little vintage guitar with a warm, woody tone.  Rich sunburst finish with some finish checking & surface scratches.  There are various nicks, chips, dents & ding throughout the guitar, but with a cool vintage vibe.  The top has sunken in a bit & one of the braces inside the body needed to be reglued.  The guitar is still playable & is quite resonant.  Overall it has a great look to it with a gorgeous patina.

Neck:  Semi-chunky mahogany neck with Brazilian rosewood fingerboard & mother of pearl double parallelogram inlays.  Original frets show some wear, but have plenty of life in them.  Kluson Deluxe tuners in perfect working condition.  1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length.  Neck is straight, but dips a bit at the end due to the top sinking. 

Body:  Single Florentine cutaway hollow maple body with dual F-holes.  There is a screw hole in the cutaway section of the body, just below the neck, where a previous strap button had been.  Nickel trapeze tailpiece with floating rosewood bridge.  5-ply black pickguard is in great shape with no cracks or breaks.  Guitar weighs 5 lbs 5.1 oz.

Pickup:  P-90 single coil neck pickup - 8.23K ohms.  Master volume & tone controls with gold barrel knobs.  All electronics are in perfect working condition.

Case:  Vintage Geib chipboard case included.  The case is a bit rough & the lid separates from the rest of it when opened, but it still serves its purpose well.
