This guitar is all original with wear but no noteworthy repaired damage or modifications. The internal brackets were just re glued by Alan Perlman in San Francisco. A corner part of the pick guard has been worn away. I buy and sell a lot of these, when I can ever find one. This is a very rare early example, one of 146 in Sunburst made that year. I could say this is a beautiful guitar but that is subjective. I do like the way it looks. It delights me.
