What we know, including the problems
Everything we could research or see, including what we couldn't verify. We would rather tell you now than argue about it later. If something here matters to you, ask before you bid, or come try it on the 19th or 20th.
- No serial number has been located yet. The back of the headstock and the interior f-hole label have not been photographed, so the year is estimated from features only.
- This is NOT confirmed as a 1950s PAF-era instrument. Do not bid expecting one.
- Pickup originality unverified. The covers have not been removed.
- Binding edge chips, finish checking, and headstock face lacquer wear.
- Neck angle and structural condition have not been professionally assessed.
- No case documented.
