Exceptional Early 80s Dave Guardala Handmade - King Curtis Rhythm & Blues Model.
This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of saxophone history. This "Early Guardala" features a 3-digit serial number (ending in *32, the first digit is faded but visible).
Condition & Refacing: The original plating was removed due to significant wear, leaving the mouthpiece in its natural state. As a professional refacer with 29 years of experience, I personally adjusted this piece to a perfect size 8 opening. The table, rails, and tip are now in optimal playing condition, ensuring a response and consistency that these vintage handmade pieces sometimes lacked in their original state.
Sound: It delivers the legendary "King" sound: massive projection, a brilliant edge, and that unmistakable R&B grit. Perfect for players looking for the ultimate powerhouse mouthpiece.
- Model: King Curtis R&B (Handmade)
- Era: 1980s
- Opening: 8 (Custom refaced by professional)

Don't miss out on a handmade Guardala with a professional setup ready to play.
