There is heavy finish wear around the pickguard and soundhole, along with many assorted scratches, dings, and chips on the body. The body and neck have been fully oversprayed, and there is nice checking throughout. There is also an outline of a sticker or piece of tape visible on the front of the body, at the top of the pickguard. There is a repaired crack in the top, along with a few smaller repaired cracks on the sides. The back of the neck has various small dents, and the headstock edges have worn. |

Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief. The frets are low with light play wear. The ink serial number on the head block has faded, preventing an exact dating. The construction and appointments date the guitar to the early 1950s. |
