I recently inherited this gem. if the table I found on line is accurate (and I'm reading it correctly) it should be a 1960 or so, build. It plays great. neck is straight and true. Tone is very nice. It's quite playable. But I'm hoping folks on this forum can confirm what I think I know about it's age and also more details. Is it a mahogany back and sides with sitka spruce top? The headstock inlay almost looks like gold or yellow mother of pearl. The purfling is quite yellowed, maybe patina, maybe cigaret smoke...
There's also some cosmetic krackling on the sides and back, even the neck, but not the top. Anyway, any insights would be greatly appreciated. I will enjoy playing her regardless, but would love to know more about what I've got.
