Gonna let this one go, too many sops! I bought this one online a few months back to compare to my older Style 0, and still like the Style 0 better, but LOVE the Style 2 looks way better, it's gorgeous.

This is an early 60s Style 2 (Made in USA inside), all original with the exception of a filled hole where a strap button was on the bottom. Has 2 cracks on the back which have been glued, no idea with what, the other 3-4 are much smaller, and appear to be only finish cracks, not sure. All cracks seems stable, and have not changed since in the few months I've had it. No cracks in sides or top.

Plays and sounds great, a tiny bit mellower tone than my Style 0, a bit richer sounding. Action is very nice, about 2.25 mm. Ships in old chip case it came in. M600 strings installed. Here's a couple of videos:
