This F1 was made in 1940. I really can't tell if the top was bleached, but if as made, is unusual for the model (and a particularly nice job!). Tailpiece, bridge and pickguard not original. Neck is straight as a bullet after all these years and plays with no buzz or choking at 5/64" on the bass side and 4/64" on the treble. Finish checking as expected, a bit of buckle rash.

I forgot to add that the tuners were also replaced at some point with Schallers.
