Dyed wood fingerboard is virtually unplayed .. scale length is ~ 23 3/8". Brazilian rosewood pyramid bridge with abalone dot bridge pins. This guitar was always set up with a nut raiser for lap playing. The 'half-slot' head stock is playfully shaped into an asymetric peak, also bound in 'checkerboard'. Crack free! Oahu or S/V collectors, heads-up, this is one for the discerning collector, or a player who wants a wonderfully preserved, pre-WWII ladder braced flat top.
