About This Listing

What a great looking set in really rare pink mother of pearl!

This pair has stayed together for what is getting close to 100 years, which is pretty amazing in and of itself.  They've aged well!

The amp has seen some recent service and runs well.  It isn't a screamer or your next gigging amp, but it is a relic that is totally functional.  There is a little separation of the MOP covering and part of the upper back panel, but everything is still holding together nicely nonetheless.

The steel has one of the hottest pickups we've ever measured at 32k.  It's a light little beast.  A modern output jack has been added to allow you to use a regular guitar cable.  

Mahar's Vintage Guitars is a brick-and-mortar and web-based retailer. We are happy to talk with you before you make a purchase.   Please reach out if you feel so inclined! We cross market our items here and on our own site, so items are subject to sale elsewhere at any time (however we will never cancel a sale if it happens here first). See our profile here, our Google reviews as well as our 100% positive Reverb feedback.  Also, Reverb limits us to only 25 pictures of our items.  There is a good chance we have more.  Contact us if you’d like to see them.
