  • Description: I’m not certain of the year of this guitar, but I think it’s circa 1963. It has an original plastic bridge with white adjustable saddle. It also has a wider neck width measuring just under 1 11/16” at the nut. There’s a long, repaired top crack by the pick guard, and the top dips some at the soundhole. There’s also 4-5 repaired cracks on the back of the body. There's deep divots on the fingerboard in the area of the first and second frets and lesser fingerboard wear as you go up the board. The frets are in pretty good shape. I do think they were probably dressed at some point. I would say there's close to full wire on the first two frets and also on the higher frets, but there's less wire in the middle. Still, there's a good amount of fret wire on the guitar. A good playing and great sounding Texan.
