SOLD 06/07/2019! Yeah, maybe it's been 26 years since I bought one of these but so what! This is an extra-clean example with NO issues at all and is in remarkable condition for a piece over 100 years old. All the joints are solid, the tortoise pickguard is totally intact, the tailpiece cover is still there, the tuner buttons are in great shape and the thing plays and sounds fabulous! The paper label clearly shows the model, serial number and the 1916 date and the original case is a perfect match for the fine condition of this instrument.

I forgot to take the pictures before I headed north so I will try to post them on 4/23, right before I leave for the Dallas guitar show.
