Just came in today - it's got a few cracks that look like they've been there for years. It's got a lot of finish crazing...but it plays like it's brand new and sounds sublime! No problems with intonation...I love it!
I'm guessing it's from the 40s or 50s - the music store label sets the latest likely date as 1958, early 59, as it's marked 'Honolulu, T.H.'
Anybody know if the date of manufacture can be narrowed down further?
