Cool Original?

He mentions that th FB is not!.. Also, he failed to mention the 3 Screws into the neck and block thru the Back and the re-carved FF holes by Luthier Godzilla for Manual repairs and sound post placement. Also, the Finish is not original and the Back looks like Plywood..

Other than that, it's old.. Marshmellos anyone?

Yep, sometimes old doesn't always mean vintage, eh?
