Sold Please Close

Post by Noah Miller »

I traded for this a few months ago, but I think I'm better off sticking to electric lap steel. And, to be honest, I have to pay off a new mandolin.

This is what you might call a "player's" guitar - it's far from mint, but it sounds great. It's a Style 1, but the light engraving around the edges puts it into a category that collectors call a "Style 1.5" - between a Style 1 and 2. There are a few "stripes" eaten into the finish; I don't know how this could have happened, but regardless, they're only cosmetic. The side facing the audience is clean except for the one significant dent in the body. The cones are high-quality replacements (I don't know whose) and the guitar has plenty of volume, sustain and cutting power. The tuners are also replacements, but from the same era. It comes with a soft chipboard case.

I'm asking $SOLD, including Paypal fees and shipping in the continental US (I can do AK, HI and elsewhere, but it might be more). There's a little flexibility for a local deal. The only trade I might consider is a 7- or 8-string Dobro.

These are pics of the guitar from the store I got it from (they're better than what I took - photographing a big reflective surface is difficult!). I'll be happy to take closeups of anything you want.

Here are my pics, for what they're worth:

Noah - I'm drooling - what a beautiful guitar!
Just 'cause I look stupid, don't mean I'm not.

That looks like a mojo-machine for sure. What is the body made of - Brass? Steel? German silver?

Sweet! I'm not in the market, which is painful, as German Silver is my favorite. Someone will snap this up. I'm surprised it isn't already gone - this is a great price.
