In good condition overall although obviously restored throughout. Binding appear thicker than I would expect and there is a section of wood let in to the body end centre (where the strap button is located). The neck appears straight and the top flat. No obvious cracks. Buzzing to upper frets on lower strings which would indicate set-up adjustments would be needed. See images via lot view for general condition guidance
