There are two repaired cracks in the top, one of which has been cleated, and there are numerous braces which have been reglued. The front of the bridge plate has glue present, and may have been reattached at one point. There are also two holes drilled into the back of the headstock.

Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with low action, and the truss rod is functional. The frets are narrow and tall with light play wear. The FON on the neck block has worn away, so the guitar is being dated to 1938 based on appointments.
