Over All Condition:Nice Cosmetic AppearanceA Hairline Crack Along The Bottom Should Be Glued (IMPORTANT: Please read all information, including terms of sale, for further details.) Approximate Dimensions:Over All Length: 41 1/2"Upper Bout: 11 1/2"Lower Bout: 16"Depth: 3 3/8" This guitar was acquired recently at an estate auction in rural Michigan. Please rely on the photos provided, what visual description I am able to offer, but primarily use your own better knowledge and expertise in making your bidding evaluations. I make a point of finding interesting items to present in this auction format, but I'm not always aware of the finer points. Ask questions when need be. Beyond an initial, light cleaning for this presentation this item is being presented just as I found it and is sold "as is". The finish on this instrument is really well preserved and attractive. Scuffs and scratches are for the most part few. Those that exist are incidental and typical with the folllowing exceptions. There is a crack along the bottom side that needs to be mentioned, but should be easily fixed and likely to be overlooked when finished, (see photos). I believe the guitar likely had been put down or dropped on the strap button (of which there is only a small piece lodged in the hole). This shock likely caused the crack. It is long but very thin. When I put pressue on either side it went back together with little more than a trace. I thought of gluing it myself. Just the same, I felt it should be up to you to deal with the repair in your own way. There is also a very long thin gouge in the finish along the bottom of the guitar that can be seen on close examination but is less of a distraction than these words might suggest. The neck seems good and straight and firmly in place on the body. The guitar has what I believe is the original bridge. Two of the tuning gear posts are notably bent though functional. The guitar has all of its strings but they are improperly placed on the tuning pegs. There is no pick guard. There is no case. (Not to fear, I've successfully packed many guitars without cases.) The strongest attribute for this guitar is the remarkable finish. It really is strong in appearance. I believe with a minimum amount of talent and effort the guitar will become a prized possession.Thanks for your time and good luck. 2 Simplified Terms Of Sale (Stated In Detail Following The Description & Photos) 1.
