Tech Notes: -The guitar plays well with low action. The frets are wide with medium height and light play wear. -There are no traces of the large Everly Brothers style pickguards on this top, and the whole guitar black lights consistent and old.

The second to last digit of the serial number has been obscured both on the back of the headstock and the sticker inside the sound hole.
