This guitar is 100% original and it is in great condition. The finish is very clean and beautiful. There are no blemishes or wear except for one chip in the body near the neck pocket. It’s almost, new-old-stock but has some minor playing wear. The tolex binding has minor staining but it’s barely noticeable. It is a beautiful guitar that plays nicely and sounds sweet. Description from VintageSilvertones.com
