Description
Super rare, I've only ever seen one other, in Rose Morris in Denmark street, and I think the guy didn't believe me when I said I had one. Basically sound and all original, but it looks like it has been dropped at some point and the side of the lower bout has been eased back into shape, and the cracks glued. An honest repair, not too visible, but plain to see close up. No sign of opening up, no effect on tone as far as I can tell. Tone, yes, don't expect a dobro shouty blues machine. This sounds delicate and folky, especially when fingerpicked. If you strum too hard it sounds like the thin reso cone is suffering! Reluctant sale, but even I have to admit I may have too many guitars at the moment, and this never gets used. I've strung it with Martin silk and steels, which seem to suit it well, but they've been on it a while. If I have a spare set I will bung them in the case. Not cheap, but price reflects the rarity and my reluctance to sell. Case included in price, but if you plan to collect and don't want the case I may take a lower offer. Message me to discuss. International shipping possible at cost, please ask me for a quote first. Shipping is an estimate, sash on collection welcome, delivery may be an option, again at cost. Any questions message me.
