Oh yeah...that's the faux tiger stipe maple model....all birch...usually from the fifties....although that has the unusual deco tailpiece that is from the forties.....not a steel reinforced neck....they are generally a bit more skranky sounding to my ears than their natural topped cousins....they almost always need a neck reset...I do a poor mans reset on them if the neck is not bowed...if it is I set em up for lap slide....I played one set up for slide with a vintage dearmond pickup in it and it was killer...for a good campfire guitar I would recommend a later built natural topped model....the necks are usually in better shape and they have a warmer tone...but 65 bucks is a good price even if it needs some work...
