It's so sparkling clean apart from that tiny flaw. It looks like it was locked away in a climate-controlled dust-free environment for 60 years.

Actually, it has been played, but very little. There is a small amount of belt buckle worming on the back.
Dude probably played one rehearsal or gig when the "no mishap" strap had a mishap??!!
