This is a nice looking vintage
Hummingbird. It has some noticeable fret wear on the first few frets. It has a
couple of small dings on the top as pictured. The paint on the pick guard is
worn in a few spots. The top is straight and flat, there is no upward pull on
the bridge. The neck is straight with a slight relief in the middle...could be
straightened out or left alone...it plays nicely as it is. There is no fret
buzzing. Intonation is acceptable. Neck heel joint is perfect with no lifting or
cracking. There are no repairs. No chips. No cracks. Overall this is a good
looking vintage instrument with normal signs of normal use...this is  a gently
used guitar with no damage, but it does show it's age, and it does show some
signs of use.
 
The guitar plays very nicely and
sounds beautiful. There is low action at the first five frets, the action gets a
little higher toward the higher frets. It  plays well all the way down and the
sound is extremely rich and pronounced.
 
I am including two sets of
bridge pegs..the original rosewood and some plastic ones...the original rosewood
are a bit chewed up but may still work.
 
I do not have the original
case.....but I will pack it in a cheapo case, with plenty of soft cushioning and
then an outer layer of soft cushioning, and then some thick layers of
cardboard...it will be packed to withstand extreme rough
handling.
