| Body Details: | Maple back and sides with arched spruce top. There are a few repaired cracks in the top. Some back braces have been repaired, while a few are slightly cracked and/or loose. Fully repairing these braces would require removal of the back, and so they have been left to avoid devaluing the instrument. |

| Cosmetic Condition: | The guitar has various marks and signs of age present, including numerous finish chips, scratches, and other assorted small blemishes.

| Serial Number: | 530C-370 |
| Tech Notes: | The guitar plays well with low action and minor neck relief, and is currently set up with 12-53 phosphor bronze strings. The truss rod is adjustable.

The factory order number and construction appointments date this guitar to 1937. The factory order number is visible inside the treble F-hole. |
