Things original to the guitar include:
Neck sides and back, Brazilian Rosewood fingerboard neck block, tail block, back bracing ,center strip, Martin peg head, back cellulose binding with end graft.
Reason for refinishing entire body was guitar had previous repairs that needed to be addressed such as a lower back patch, and two small side patches to the right side of the lower part of the guitar. These repairs were addressed with backing material, same species of wood as the back mahogany.
the guitar is solid now. Guitar looks to have had a small headstock repair or maybe a head stock scratch I'm not too sure. Doesn't show all the way through but is solid and not going anywhere guitar functions accordingly
There are lots of scrapes, scratches, dings dents and superficial blemishes all over the instrument. As you will notice from the photos that I have provide. The body has been aged to match the neck as you'll notice from the photos that I've provided. The guitar comes with an aftermarket case.
