Here's a great old instrument that has been played a lot but extremely well maintained. It's all original minus a couple of changed/uprgraded parts. (originals included) The closer you look you discover that this thing has tons of MOJO! It's a great weight and is so comfortable to play. It sounds exactly as it looks and plays great.

The vintage size frets have plenty of miles left. The body and neck have some finish wear but with no cracks in the wood, even the common problem that you see at the high e side of the tailpiece typically because of the original "too short" bushings. Which were replaced at some point with the proper 1" bushings. There are a few minimal dings in the wood and body. e.g: the neck by the nut low e side and just below the tailpiece in the top. (see pics)
It has a fresh set of Stringjoy Broadway 10's and it's red2go!

New Tuning Machines to preserve originals if you want. There was no routing of the peg holes. The original tuners and buttons come with. (see pics)
Original nut has three extra nut slots for the G,B,& E. Perhaps from a high strung/mando idea at some point...who knows?
There seems to be a small touch up spot on the bare mahogany on the top by the 17th fret near the strap button. Perhaps a black marker? (see pics)
