This guitar has been well loved and for good reason as this 000 sounds resoundingly focused with very clear mids and strong support in the bass and shimmery trebles.  The neck has a fantastic profile with wear through the finish for a burnished feel.  The playability is spot on perfect thanks to a refret (with vintage size wire) and neck reset by Tom. Although there is visible wear the condition is better than it appears.  The lines on the top appear to have been scratched in with a pencil and are not cracks.  There are two repaired top cracks from the bridge to the lower bout.  Tom installed a TJ Thompson exact reproduction bridge.  The original bridge had been previously shaved down beyond the point of saving. Constructed with an abalone bound spruce top, Brazilian rosewood back and sides, mahogany neck, and an ebony fingerboard.  The original Waverly \"Yoda-head\" tuners are present as are all bridge pins and end pin.
