Specifications: 9lbs 12oz, neck depth at the first fret = .78", depth at 12th fret = 1.00"
Condition: Excellent with no breaks or repairs! The finish shows some typical light scratching and wear. There are two small gouges in the back of the body near the end pin. The exterior of the original case is dusty/dirty but the handle is in good working condition. The interior pocket lid is tired and the lid strap is broken.
Originality: 100% original! I found no evidence of replaced parts.
Playability: Excellent! This one plays like a dream with a straight neck, good original frets, and a properly functioning truss rod.
