Weight: 4lbs 6oz

Description
The following specs were carefully collected and recorded by a skilled technician. For a more detailed description and questions regarding sound, feel, or cosmetic condition, please visit our Lincoln Avenue showroom or call to speak to one of our Used and Vintage experts.
Finish Details: Original
Body Material: Maple
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
Fingerboard Material: Brazilian Rosewood
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: 4lbs 6oz
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.
Case Details: Chipboard Case
Cosmetic Condition: The guitar has plenty of nice wear present; the finish has scratches, dings, and a notable patch of wear on the front. The back of the body is glossy and clean, and the neck has several assorted dings along the back. The top of the guitar has a few repaired cracks as well.
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.
