Description

Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.  In Very Good Vintage condition with moderate wear for an instrument of this age, including scratches, nicks, small scrapes and other signs of normal handling and use.  There is a large back crack that has been glued and cleated. 

This guitar started its life as a Hawaiian (HG) model designed for playing Hawaiian-style music with a slide.  As these were essentially the same guitars as the LG-2s produced in this era many were later converted to standard playing with normal action.  This is a great example of one of these conversions.  Please feel free to contact us to ask any questions you may have.  See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings.  Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so.  We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument.  Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing. 

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear.  If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have.  Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
