Cosmetic Inspection Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description. This is in great condition, with nothing significant to report. The only thing worth mentioning are some cracks around the neck join. We've taken this to a local Luthier who has made these comments - "The cracks around the neck join do not affect the guitars playability. These are probably caused by deterioration of the lacquer due to age". We would also add that it looks like the join has been previously sturdied underneath, as you can see in the pictures, where the body meets the neck.However, please bear in mind this is 56+ years old so will not be in the exact condition it left the factory.Originality In our opinion, this is all original, including the hard case.Summary Overall, this is a very rare and collectable guitar.
