It's exactly like the one Elvis is playing.
Mohogany Grand Concert "Mine could be a bit older than 1962" I'm still working on confirming the date.

Actually, that's cool.
I wish I'd have taken guitar lessons as a teenager instead of the banjo.

Yeah, all I learned to play was the tambourine.

Maggot played guitar & sang me a song I picked out, then posted it for all of us to enjoy. You were supposed to as well.

Very nice. Mahogany is one of my favorite woods to work with. It finishes so beautifully. Also a pretty damn good tone wood from what I understand.

Nice, I can't wait to see yours. Every flaw is precious.
You collect guitars? How many do you have? Do you play? I'd love a little background, because you certainly have a knack for finding "just" the thing in guitars.
I love finding just the thing in whatever I'm looking for (movies, comics, pinball, hikes, wine, orgasm) anything really but it's the confluence of perfection thing that blows me away which is why it piques my interest. I like the cut of your jib.

I play a little, I have right now 5 or 6 complete guitars and a few that will one day be complete again.
I kinda like working on them,taking an old instrument and giving it a new shot at life doing what it was intended to do is how I see it, this particular guitar has been sitting in storage for more than 30 years, it has the original case and it is all original, it is really dried out and it will take a bunch of hours to hydrate but it has no cracks plus it has a little bit of romance around it which makes it just that much more appealing to me.
I have this hobby problem.
Some are bought to re sell " Like the ESP LTD" others are mine and will be until the wife gives them to whoever replaces me after I'm gone.
Same with my RC airplanes I build even though I have sold a few of the custom ones I have built I still have a few too many.

Hey, a tambourine around the campfire is good. But, yeah, a guitarist is pretty much required or it's kinda hippie lame (unless everyone's really really wasted). I'd listen to you strike if I was really really wasted, MS.
P.s. "tambourine player" in the Urban Dictionary = gay person. Meh, what do they know?
