Here's a late 1920's or early 1930's Supertone tenor guitar with a solid spruce top - birch body. The fretboard, headstock and pickguard is a rare pearloid material - made only during this period. I 've put on new Grover sta-tite tuners - have the original friction peg tuners too.
It has one repaired crack on top - at the edge of the pickguard - cleated and stable now. The ebony bridge also has a crack so I put some superglue there - also stable. --There is a screw in the neckjoint through the strap button to hold a neck reset in place.
I leveled and polished the frets too and now it's a player. The string height at the 12th fret is set at 1/8" bass side -3/32" treble side - plays well there up and down the fingerboard. -- Sounds as good as it looks - rumbly bass. This one is tuned as a true tenor in CGDA. The strings are: 34-23-14-10
I've posted a sample on Soundcloud under Claytonaudio
