Condition
This guitar could be described as a ‘barn find’ because that’s exactly where it came from- and although it has some cracks, it will restore well, and the table has only 2 central cracks-I have not even dusted it off for the photos- this is exactly as it was found- the original bridge too is the top spec, ie the wings have m.o.p. inlay- the pins are not original, but it has the original frets, and original fingerboard, action good. The tuners too although dirty and slightly corroded, will work perfectly- all the worms and gears are fine, as are the rollers. The back has one crack, treble bout, lower, and the bass side rib is fine- the treble side rib has a severe crack, but it will go back together perfectly. The neck has an old repair. The central endpin is present as is one of the original back pins.
