I bought this guitar a few years ago, but I just bought yet another guitar (bad case of GAS) and I am adhering to a newly instituted marital rule that require 1 out for any more that come in.
This guitar in really good condition except for a variety of small dings and scratches and also checking in the nitrocellulose finish. I have replaced the pickup with a hand wound Kent Armstrong PAF ($175 value) and I have changed out the tuners to a set of Grover Rotomatics with ebony knobs. I also replaced the pickguard with a replacement one from Eastman that has Schatten tone and volume wheels.
I found that the guitar was feeding back at louder volumes when plugged in so I had a pair of custom F-hole plugs made (Doug's Plugs) that help tremendously. Many people play these guitars as acoustic swing instruments and the best acoustic volumes are achieved without the plugs.
The case is a bit worn but all latches work and there is no structural damage
It has a unique sound being a solid mahogany back and sides instrument.
It's pretty. Right now the intonation and set-up are exactly to my liking but you may have other tastes. It does not look brand new when close, the nicks and dings are included so you don't have to add your own.
Please message me with any questions.
