Sound Pure's Take
Conditon: Used, Very Good
What's the big deal with vintage guitars, you ask? Here's an "Exhibit A" if ever there was one. This verified 1931 00-18 has clarity, sensitivity, and downright soul that you cannot, will not get out of a brand new guitar. It's eerie. Feel and stability? Improbably lightweight, completely covered in checking but entirely free of cracks, as smooth and well worn a neck as you could ask for. And sound? The immediately clear bass, throaty midrange, and sweet, sweet highs all ring out in seemingly endless, woody, dry detail. We dream about guitars like this, truly.
Original tuners and bridge included in case.
