Summary
Finish: Original
Body Material: Maple Body
Top Material: Spruce Top
Body Details: Maple back and sides with spruce top. There is a repaired crack along the center seam of the top, along with a couple cracks near the bass-side F-hole. One of these cracks has a few spruce cleats reinforcing it.
Neck Material: Mahogany Neck
Neck Profile: "C" profile
Neck Thickness (IN): .88" (1st fret), .99" (10th fret)
Fingerboard Radius: 10.00"
Nut Width: 1-11/16"
Scale Length: 24 3/4"
Neck Details: Mahogany neck with bound Brazilian rosewood fretboard, trapezoid inlays, and headstock truss rod adjustment. There is a small decal on the headstock face, and the footprint of alternate tuner sets on the back of the headstock.
Electronics: None
Hardware: The tuners/tuner buttons have been replaced. The tailpiece is not original to the guitar, and the pickguard is missing.
Weight: 4 lbs 6 oz
Cosmetic Condition: Several top cracks have been reglued, and at least one has been reinforced with cleats. The tailpiece and tuners are not original to the instrument.
Modifications/Repairs: Several top cracks have been reglued, and at least one has been reinforced with cleats. The tailpiece and tuners are not original to the instrument.
Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with low action and optimal neck relief, and is currently set up with 12-53 phosphor bronze strings. The frets are narrow and fairly low with moderate wear, and divots low on the neck. The guitar lacks a discernable factory order number; based on the style of the silkscreen logo and the construction style, the guitar likely dates to the early 1950s.
