First of all, this is a project. The guitar does need a few things but should be worthwhile for someone. It has a long top crack that was poorly repaired in the past. Also, the guitar needs a neck reset. There was a heel crack but not the worst I've seen on this model. The guitar appears to be original except the pickguard and bridge. The black finish has aged quite a bit over it's 100+ years. The binding is actually in excellent condition unlike a few others I've had. It could be a playable guitar again with some work.
