Details
Penciled serial number on the paper label is impossible to read, but the "11877" FON, conveniently and clearly stamped on the neck block, and twice at that, dates this A model to 1923. Note that the tailpiece has been replaced, and the pickguard is missing, but the cool spear-point Waverly tuners are still on the job. Ebony bridge base and thumb-wheels are original, the bridge top is an excellent reproduction.
