CONDITIONS: the guitar is cosmetically beautiful and it’s fully working and already playable, the strings need to be replaced (if desired). A tuner key is a bit bent, but it works fine. The monogram on the sound hole is intact and is extremely rare to find in this state of preservation. The sound of this guitar is wonderful and enchanting! Real vintage gem!
This is an incredible instrument with 68 years of life! It’s a very beautiful vintage guitar and it has more volume and sounds sweeter than expected.

Old Levin guitars are some of the best kept secrets out there, and when they’re in good original condition like this one they’ll inspire you to no end. Love this guitar!
This is your chance to get your hands on an extremely rare gem: these don't often come up for sale...don't miss your chance! Very hard to let this one go, but it's not getting enough use and it's just time to move on.
Lovers of the Levin brand already know it: the old Levin guitars are among the best guitars ever produced in the 1900s. The Swedish brand produced such good and quality guitars and mandolins that Martin in 1973 decided to buy it to "eliminate" a dangerous competitor in terms of comparison.
