Observations: This guitar does have a few visible minor dings. Two in the lower bout on the top wood, back has a few minor dings and surface scratches. The guitar did develop a crack on the top near the cutaway. The crack was glued and backed by Mark Erlewine. Frets are in excellent condition. Mark Erlewine hand made this guitar in the late 1990's. The bracing is tall yet thinner than normal. The bridge is made of the same pre-war Black Walnut that Alber King's Erlewine Flying V was built from. This tone of this guitar is full, well balanced and articulate. A beautiful guitar all the way around.
