Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
We were instantly amazed at the condition of this beautiful 70 year old guitar! This axe has been lovingly maintained and cared for and appears to be 100% original. The tone is sweet and unmistakable and the decades have broken in the sound and the feel in a way you just can't fake.
