Body Material: Maple

Top Material: Spruce

Neck Material: Mahogany

Neck Profile: "V" profile

Neck Thickness (IN): .92" (1st fret), 1.02" (10th fret)

Scale Length: 24 3/4"

Hardware: The nut and saddle are replaced. The original saddle is included in the case.

Cosmetic Condition: This vintage Gibson acoustic guitar has aged nicely, with checking, various scratches, and other signs of wear and use present. There are two repaired top cracks, one near the fretboard tongue on the bass side and one behind the bridge. There are also two drilled holes on the back of the headstock, one of which goes through to the front and logo.

Modifications/Repairs: The neck has been reset and refretted; there is a small shim under the fretboard tongue. The nut and saddle have been replaced. There are two repaired cracks in the top, one of which has been cleated, and there are numerous braces which have been reglued. The front of the bridge plate has glue present, and may have been reattached at one point. There are also two holes drilled into the back of the headstock.

Serial Number: N/A

Tech Notes: The guitar plays well with low action, and the truss rod is functional. The frets are narrow and tall with light play wear. The FON on the neck block has worn away, so the guitar is being dated to 1938 based on appointments.
