Overall length is 41 in. (104.1 cm.), 15 15/16 in. (40.5 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 5 in. (12.7 cm.) in depth at side, taken at the end block. Scale length is 25 1/4 in. (641 mm.). Width of nut is 1 11/16 in. (43 mm.). General wear overall but nothing major; original bridge with composite saddle still intact and functional. There is a period half-pickguard added over the soundhole; the celluloid material looks factory but the engraving is hand-applied. All tuner buttons are original, four have shrunken up somewhat but are still functional (can be replaced if desired). There is a driver's liscense number etched in the back of the headstock. A very cool and excellent sounding early Hummingbird with some history to it! Generally Excellent Condition.
