There are areas of missing finish throughout the neck and edge of the fingerboard, most notably beneath the tongue. There is a large chip in the face of the headstock near the low E tuner. A couple pieces of binding are missing from the pick guard. There is some orange peel and finish drip spots present, particularly on the back of the body and headstock as well as the cutaway.

Tech Notes: -The guitar plays well with low action. The frets are wide and tall with no play wear. -The guitar has no serial number because the f-hole sticker is missing. The laminate maple body, crown headstock inlay and double parallelogram fret markers date the guitar to the mid 1940s (probably 1946).
