I recently picked up a 1958 full scale M-65 Freshman and I have a couple questions. First... how unusual is the cherry finish? I haven’t seen any. It seems these are usually sunburst. Second, is there an issue with what they used on the headstocks? There is no badge or logo, and the paint looks far more worn than the body. A local luthier told me they sometimes had a covering on the headstock that would deteriorate, and people would eventually remove it. This looks all original except the tuners.
