The lacquer shows natural checking and crazing throughout, consistent with its age, adding to the vintage aesthetic. There is extremely minimal lacquer loss, with no major finish issues.
A professionally repaired crack on the spruce top has no effect on tone. There's also a small, unrepaired crack on the side that is stable and does not affect playability.
Overall, this guitar is in very good condition for its age — full of character, tone, and history. A rare opportunity for classical players and collectors seeking an instrument with soul and story.
