I bought a 5258 at gattuso (now defunct) music in bradenton fl in 1993 w extremely figured tiger stripe maple back (carved) and sides and carved spruce top w herringbone trim, ebony fretboard, parrellogram abalone markers, , round sound hole, approximately om size. the finish had a greenish tinge. came w original case which had its own arromatic scent (possibly spruce). Great finger picker and flat picker,
I regret the day I sold that one.
