Model 60D-S
Square Neck Natural Finish
Acoustic Resonator Guitar
Used - Good Condition Forty-four years ago, this blonde beauty was made, and despite some finish checking and blemishes typical for a guitar of this age, this '73 Dobro Model 60D-S looks and sounds amazing!  Featuring a laminated maple top, back, and sides and a single-cone spider bridge, this square neck resonator is ready to enchant your ears with its stellar tone.  The 3-on-a-plate treble side tuning keys are not original and are put on backwards (probably meant for the bass side originally).  Whether it's country music, blues, or Hawaiian music you're into playing, this vintage gem is ready to deliver!   Cosmetic and Functionality Description
Body:  there is finish checking to be seen, primarily on the top and back of the body and a little bit on the sides; some of the back body binding has started to come loose on the sides and is split on the bass side; the top, back, and sides all show some obvious scratches, but most of the heavier scars and discoloration are on the back; some easily noticeable dings and dents can be found on the top, back, and sides; the resonator cover has some scuff marks and scratches on it and the soundhole screens look greatNeck, Headstock, and Fretboard: the fretboard looks virtually flawless; the neck shows pretty heavy checking and chipping in the finish as well as some scratches and small dings; the headstock has some easily noticeable dings and dents on the front and back, plus similar finish checking and chipping can be seen on the front, back, and sides, particularly along the edgesAction and Playability:  the fretboad has a little bit of fall away, however this resonator still plays and sounds great!Frets:  virtually flawless...they never get touched!Hardware: the treble side tuning keys are not original and look great; the bass side tuning keys are rusted, but still move properly and the buttons have some obvious scratches on them; the tailpiece has some obvious rusting going on, but still looks nice consideringIncludes:  acoustic resonator guitar (case and gig bag not included)
