Finish checking abounds - please examine the photos
The previous owner had the top crack sealed
All other repairs are guesses at this point, but I would venture that this guitar was damaged at some time, and the back was removed either by the damage, or for the repair -
The guitar is in fair to good condition
It is highly playable and sounds great, but the edges where the sides and back meet are not completely tight or level in some places.
Bits of white glue are visible
The end graft shows this same un-eveness
The tuning machines work, but are difficult to turn
Older hard shell case included, could be original
We are offering this guitar for sale "As Is" with no warranty stated or implied
In the right repairman's hands, this baby could really shine again
