This is a beautiful Lapsteel model
by the east-german luthier company "Herrnsdorf" from
Markneukirchen. Herrnsdorf was a company wich built many kinds of
instruments under the lead of Uebel (another big german luthier
name). Arround the mid 50s, the company started to produce guitars,
mostly electric ones, but also some extraordinary Archtops. The thing
that really let them stand out among the other luthier companies
where their large selection of high-quality beautiful Lapsteel
guitars. Herrnsdorf was famous for their unusual ideas and designs in
guitars and the variety of instruments they made.
The Lapsteel is in
absolut top condition, has close to no wear and is very clean over
all. All of the electronics work without crackling potis or anything
like that. The pickup produces a nice, destinctive sound. It plays
very well too, no buzzing or anything. The tuners turn smoothly and
hold the string tension well. The guitar is fully original and even
comes with its original case!
The
guitar can be played immediatly.

About
shipping:
I
ship worldwide with DHL and with the DHL-shipping insurance wich goes
up to 500โฌ. I am not going to lie to you or blandish a possible
transport risk like some other people do. International shipping can
be dangerous and packages are sometimes treated roughly. If you
however choose to have an international shipment, I will do my
absolute best to protect the guitar. I have collected a lot of
experience in the past on how to ship a guitar securely. I will take
photos of the packaging and the exact condition of the guitar right
before I ship it. You should know, that after shipping the guitar and
entering the shipping number, I am not responsible for anything
anymore and my job is done. But I will gladly back you up with the
insurance case with said photos and exact details in the rare case
anything goes wrong. The standart insurance I ship all guitars with
is up to 500โฌ. If you want a higher insurance, you can get that,
just ask me first. Please note, that international shipping can
sometimes take very long, on average 2 weeks for EU shipping and 1
month for intercontinental shipping, but it can take up to 3 times
that time in some very rare cases.
Legal:
Taxation
after UStG ยง25a. I usually take back everything you buy from me
within 14 days after the arrival of the package. The conditions are,
that everything is in the original condition I shipped it in and the
shipping costs are carryed by the buyer.
