Description

A gorgeous playing, sounding, and looking 0-18 from the early '30s! This 1932 Shade Top 0-18 has fantastic mids, with crisp highs and a very dry and woody voice. Proof that just because you're small doesn't mean you can't be loud, this little 0-18 handles a heavy pick with no problem. It's a ton of fun to play no matter what you throw at it.

This guitar has had a neck reset, refret, replaced bridge, new nut, fresher overspray on heel, two repaired back cracks, repaired fingerboard crack near neck heel, repaired side crack, and has been buffed on the sides. It's in fabulous playing condition with an excellent set-up. Comes in a period-correct hardshell case.
