Lynn,

You did quite well. It appears to be in pretty decent shape, you got the strong
case and it
has a pickup. That wood could be some real fancy Indian, it's nicely
bookmatched. I took a
2nd look at it and it's a hard call to make. Whatever it is it is sure pretty...

Hope you enjoy it in good health

Michael
