There is a back brace missing and a small separation on the part of the back binding. The slab cut and dye they used mimic the grain patterns of the more desirable Brazilian rosewood. The top is solid sitka spruce and the back and sides are solid slab cut oak as they used to do back around the turn of the century. This one has no cracks in the wood but it does need a neck reset as these old parlors often do. Either way everything sounds cool on wood that is over 100 years old. NOW IS YOUR CHANCE!!
