Overall the guitar is in excellent shape for its age and measures 38" from end to end.There is consistent and tight crazing throughout but only adds to the great vintage look of the guitar. I haven't found any major blemishes to speak of, of course has some minor scratches around the edges consistent with a guitar that is 51 years old! There are no separations and the guitar is very solid.The top is made of solid Amazonian spruce, the sides and back are Brazilian rosewood (harvesting has been banned in South America for several decades), the neck is solid Brazilian mahogany, the headstock is Brazilian walnut veneer over mahogany. The tuners are 12:1 ratio simulated ivory and the frets are brass.It is missing two strings currently and it is exactly as I found it in an estate. I will include the music/books/tuner and case as well. It has been stored for quite some time but is in great overall condition waiting to be played!
