Overall the guitar is beautiful. The Jacarunda sides and back
are stunning. Cedar top. Plays and sounds great. Case is rough, but original
and in good working condition to protect the guitar with no functional problems,
lining and hinges are good. Guitar has nicks and dents and a pretty good punch
mark on the lower end. This could be repaired, if does not affect sound, performance, or structural integrity. There is a pretty good finish
spot at the top of the back neck. So it is not mint. Stamped at bottom of neck
with model no 3550. List price on this guitar in 1974 was $345.00 That was a
lot back then.
