I broke out in a sweat soon as he opened the case. It could use a little work, but the sound was incredible. I've played plenty of post-war stuff, nothing compares...not even close.


Never ever refinish or replace anything on a vintage guitar other than what needs to be done to make it structural sound and playable. I have a couple of vintage guitars which are worth a fraction of what they should be because someone thought they should look pretty and refinished them.

The only thing it really needs is a bridge reset, showing a very small gap on one end. There is a bit of "belly" behind the bridge, but it isn't affecting intonation very much, if at all. The neck is straight, and dead-flat. It hasn't been restrung in over ten years, and still sounds amazing.
