Beautiful tone.

Various repairs to binding; 10 in. repaired crack and small repairs to top; normal play wear; the base of the lower bout with fill indicating the guitar might have had a trapeze tailpiece at one time; position dots on the 5th, 7th and 10th frets have been filled and replaced by the present fancy inlays. Good condition.
