This is the stuff vintage guitar dreams are made of! To be fair, this 1939 wide nut D-18 is no closet queen, but if tone is your number one priority (as it should be) this is one ticks the box. It has an extensive list of past repairs and replacements, most notably a replaced fingerboard and bridge, neck reset, and some repaired cracks and reglued braces (all detailed in the specs). The finish is well-worn, especially around the strings, the lower bout bass side and on the back. But it is beautifully set-up and ready for the next serious player to put it through its paces! Light as a feather, with a powerful dry bass that rumbles your ribs, it has well-balanced mids and trebles to ring out over top. Frankly, it just sounds absolutely phenomenal no matter how you play it.
HSC included.
