general condition : |
Good general condition. Only restorations keeping a total structural integrity and its "vintage" aspect . Some cracks restored on the front (pretty good work) and without inflicting decapement received french vernish for protection (subsisting few marks like cracks restored, small holes staffed remaining from Stimer pickup installation and over sprayed small places) ; with a beautiful and original arch to the top ; light diggins of some of the original frets ; "Zero" default for back, sides and neck ; light inclination of the fingerboard extension and the soundhole too ; All original parts except one new headtuner similar to the others. Perfect playing and good sonority. |
