Up for grabs is definitely a rare one! The serial number dates it back to 1949. This vintage archtop is resonant and loud. At some point in its 76 years of existence, the pickguard melted off the face of the guitar. There are a couple of buzzy frets, but nothing a minor fret job couldn’t remedy. There are also some cracks here and there, but definitely nothing that affects playability! Everything is documented in pictures. Will come with a case.
