In stellar condition for an instrument of this age. - gently played as seen in the photos. Minor flaws:  There are intermittent cracks in the binding nearly all the way around (see photos).

Here are the problems with this guitar.  A local pro luthier estimated about $115 worth of work.

- The three way toggle switch needs to be replaced (about  $35)

- The tuning machine on the high E string needs a gear replaced ($30)

- The neck needs to be set up and possibly shimmed (about $65)

It does have the original case, but the case in rough condition.
