This is the benchmark Spruce / Mahogany dreadnaught acoustic guitar. It has all the desirable pre-'65 features including a small maple bridge plate, thru-saddle Brazilian Rosewood bridge, tortoise-shell celluloid bindings and pickguard, "T bar" neck reinforcement, and light weight Kluson tuners. Mahogany back and sides, Sitka top, Brazilian fingerboard, and original ivory nut. That's the anorak stuff out of the way, this guitar plays like a dream, it has the one thing that people want from a true vintage guitar - bags of character, and what I like to call unputdownableness.
