Fully original guitar in very good condition, like the one John Lennon played in the mid - late 1950's. It has some wear marks and scratches which you would expect from a 60+ year old instrument. Most of these guitars you see for sale are in much poorer condition. This one however plays fine and holds it's tuning very well. The guitar was made in South Africa. It would be particularly interesting to Beatles collectors and film makers.  (Note the original one played by John Lennon sold for £155,000 at auction in New York!).
