NOTES: I have mentioned above where the moustache bridge has been replicated to include a slanted saddle for improved intonation.
I have owned this particular guitar in stock twice now. It was sold be me a few years ago and traded back in by the customer who was upgrading to a modern Martin acoustic.
When I first purchased this guitar, it came to me in original condition but appeared very dry, overly dirty, way too much more dirt than a desirable patina.  Patchy and dusty and the lacquer dry and chipping on the side bouts especially in the area photographed, The lower bass side bout.
The guitar was cleaned a couple of times, humidified, the body oiled and waxed and buffed and well presented for sale.   A shellac touch up was done around the bass end of the where a little too much chipping away had occurred form previous work. So,I can say the side walls of lovely grained oak appear to be a bit more open pored that usual, this is just due to lacquer drying and thinning. It has not been sanded or altered. Everything is good, original tuners work fine. A very nice high end OS Stella Sovereign I'm sure anyone would love in their vintage blues guitar collection.
