The birch body has twotone sunburst top, back, neck and headstock, and dark-stained sides.

The action measures 6 to 8 64ths at the12th fret, with lots of room to be lowered further. Original frets, tuners,and all hardware except for a new Paul Beard cone and replacement bridgesaddles. The guitar is in excellent condition throughout, but with a smallfinish blemish on the lower margin of the back. A fine sounding and veryplayable vintage Dobro.
