Overall length is 23 1/4 in. (59.1 cm.), 9 in. (22.9 cm.) diameter head, and 2 7/16 in. (6.2 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 14 in. (356 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1/8 in. (29 mm.). Overall very nice, some minor wear but no damage or repair. There is a light square spot in the finish on the back of the headstock, the remnant of a removed sticker. All original finish and hardware except the "trap door" is missing from the back. Plays and sounds very well as an openback instrument. Fitted out with a period Rodgers head bearing the recent signature "Bob Brozman 2009" (Hi Bob!). A nice player and a fairly rare Gibson. Overall Excellent Condition.
