...FROM MY FAVORITES PILE.... A CLASSIC 30\'S GIBSON ARCHTOP. ARGUABLY THE BESTERA FOR GIBSON ARCHTOPS. ALL ORIGINAL EXCEPT FOR REPRO BRIDGE. GIBSON MADE FOR TONK BROTHERS DISTRIBUTION. SPRUCE TOP WITH MAHOGANY BACK AND SIDES. THE OLD THING MEASURE 15 3/4\" ACROSS THE BOTTOM BOUT. LOTS OF HONEST PLAY WEAR, ASSORTED BUMPS NICKS AND CHIPS. I STILL THINK ITS A BEAUTIFUL GUITAR. CHECK OUT THE GREAT INLAYS. FABULOUS TIGER STRIPE PICKGUARD. PLAYS WELL WITH JUST A LITTLE BIT OF RELIEF IN NECK. NECK PROFILE IS COMFORTABLE, SOFT OVAL. FRETBOARD HAS JUST A COUPLE SMALL RUTS. THE FRETS ARE LIKE NEW. I THINK THAT THIS OLD GIRL HAD A REFRET IN HER PAST HISTORY JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE THE LARGER CONTEMPORARY WIDTH FRET. IF ITS A REFRET THEN ITS AN EXCELLENT JOB. SOUND IS REMARKABLY BRIGHT FOR A MAHOGANY GUITAR. VOLUME IS EXCELLENT. THE BACK AND SIDES WERE SHINY LIKE THIS WHEN I BOUGHT THE GUITAR. IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THE FINISH HAD STARTED CRAZING AND THE FORMER OWNER TOOK IT TO A LUTHIER WHO THEN BUFFED IT WITH A LITTLE PRESSUREON A BUFFING WHEEL. I GUESS THIS MAKES THE FINISH HOT AND IT WILL REDUCE THE CRAZING SOMEWHAT. THAT\'S HOW IT WAS EXPLAINED TO ME. HAS A GROOVE WORN IN THE TOP FROM THE ORIGINAL BRIDGE NEAR THE PICKGUARD. HAS A SEVERAL REPAIRED CRACKS ON BACK. MIGHT HAVE A COUPLE ON SIDES THAT ARE GLUED AND STABLE. HAS SOME SCRAPES ON BACK OF NECK, PROBABLY FROM THE CASE YOKE. I TRY TO BE AS CRITICAL AS I CAN SO WE DON\'T HAVE ANY SUPRISES.... I HAVE HAD THIS OLD GUITAR FOR A LONG TIME, TWENTY YEARS. ITS SOLID AND PLAYS WELL. WILL SHIP IN A LATE MODEL HARDCASE THATS IN PRETTY AVERAGE CONDITION.... PLEASE LOOK AT THE PICTURES CAREFULLY....
