  I have a h1305 cremona. My guitar has block mother of pearl fret board inlays, not the pearloid stuff. My head stock is a green pearloid just like the one in your pictures. It is also the tobaco burst like the one pictured. My guitar is a nice player, and appears to be in better original shape than the one pictured. I have had this piece for over 15 years now. I have had a hard time finding out exactly what year it was. The neck is not steal reinforced, It has no adjustment or access. Thank You for the info and comparison you've provided here.
