Nicely aged for the past 60 plus years & showing off a really gorgeous patina. Professionally set up by our own master luthier with fresh strings & low action, so it plays & sounds great!
Cosmetic Condition: Really nice shape with that perfect, true vintage look - used, but not abused - typical nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & some finish wear. There's a very tiny crack in the soundhole near the treble side pickguard, but it's pretty inconsequential. Overall the guitar has a fabulous look it with a beautiful patina.

Neck is straight & plays great up & down the fretboard.
