It’s got that Super Sweet Bakelite Moan with Absolutely Beautiful Tone!
It’s the Stringthrough version with the desirable 1.5†Horseshoe Magnet and Painted Plates. Volume and Tone knobs same side on lower bout with input jack on audience side. Slightly beveled back body edge and reinforced Neck. Serial Number C3581.
The stiff, crumbly mess of original Tuning Keys have been replaced with Golden Age Relic Restoration 15:1 machines with black buttons from StewMac.
The original scratchy volume and non-working Tone controls with the old leaky capacitor have been replaced with new CTS 250k pots and a MOD Paper in Oil Capacitor, all wired up according to Rick Aello’s “Modern Voiced†Scheme.
Comes with original 80 year old Case which has done its job protecting the Little Bear from the Wild. The latches all work and even the Handle is still intact and functional.
Just strung her up with a new set of Scotty’s C6 SIT strings!
Here are some pics...
