It was recently set up and was set to play rock and roll.  Saddle and nut can be filed
down if you like that super low action. No repairs.  Neck joint is tight and firm.
All finish original.  Tuners are vintage and tight,  G string a little hard to turn but nice.
Great paint,  nice genuine real AIRLINE GUITAR CO. tobacco burst.
Sides show the occasional, nick, ding or small (standard) scratches you see on guitars
of this age.  The guitar had GREAT FRETS and no neck wear - so I am pretty sure these
are original.  Neck comes off with 3 screws.  Neck is straight and reinforced with steel.
Truss cover and pickguard are both BIG chunky sparkle from the 50's/60's.
The neck has big frets that make grabbing a chord easier. Truss cover is decorative.
This neck has been straight for 70-ish years, When removed it to be sure threads are good,
It tested fine,  neck comes off and firmly goes right back on without issues. Neck is a bolt on
and has a vintage shim under neck, it's made of vintage material guard is made from.NECK stays on for all USA buyers.  If your Canadian and interested, please email  me for  approval
