ABOUT TRINI LOPEZ:
Trini Lopez was a Mexican-American singer, guitarist, and entertainer who rose to fame in the 1960s with hits like "If I Had a Hammer" and "Lemon Tree," blending folk, pop, and his signature "Trini beat" strumming style. Born Trinidad Lopez III in Dallas, Texas, in 1937, he gained prominence after being discovered by Frank Sinatra and became a top-selling artist during the folk boom. Lopez performed energetically with a three-piece band and used Gibson guitars to define his sound, recording over 50 albums.

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.
