Up for sale is a vintage First National Institute Allied Arts Acoustic Guitar. This was a wall hanger until listed..just looks super cool and would make for great decoration. That being said, the guitar is somewhat playable, but action is pretty high so would work well as a lap steel slide guitar. While there is no label on this guitar, it is identical to others from the 30's era that were built by the Chicago builder Regal. Has some cracks that have been cleated with Home Depot paint stir sticks (yeah..I know) This has obviously lived a loooong life.
This comes in a Chicago made 30's era Geib guitar case. Chipboard construction with black pebble covering, flannel interior. Stamp on back reads GEIB & SCHAEFER, PURITAN, COPYRIGHTED CHICAGO. Very good vintage condition. All original hardware intact and working..there is some dry rot with some of the thread that will need to be addressed at some point.
Approximate Interior measurements:
- length - 37
- body length - 20
- upper bout width - 10.25
- lower bout width - 13.5
- depth - 4.5
This should fit an 0 or 00-size guitar, but make sure to measure your instrument
