The natural spruce top seems to be solid with a nice grain and a tortoise shell pick guard. Sides and back are nicely grained mahogany with tortoise shell bindings. All sections have a gloss lacquer finish. The bridge is a fixed rosewood. The serial number, stamped inside on a back bracing near the neck joint is 5718313.
Machine heads are the individual enclosed type, plain chrome, and are very efficient.
They don't look like quality machines, but as stated, they do the job very well. The guitsr has excellent tuning stability. 10 I use this guitar for recording. There is a great resonance about the sounds from this guitar, which are perfectly suited for recording. I have reduced the hight of the bridge string guide by sliding it out from the rosewood base, and sanding it down on the bottom edge.
