Just curious if yours was a post-1951 model - IME the earlier ones were pretty consistent, and were (still are) among the unsung bargains in the vintage guitar world. As I'm sure you're aware there was the infamous strike and subsequent transfer of production to Philadelphia (which, in combination, led to the formation of Guild in 1953); as a result quality could range from top-shelf, fully competitive with the best prewar examples, to (literally) unplayable - the last models produced in 1956 were so bad that the remaining warehouse stock had to be trashed when Gibson bought the company, and Silver & Horland's Park Row operation still had some decade-old NOS in their storeroom when I went to buy my Gretsch Double Annie in early '64...
