Description
This 1930s Ernst Grand Auditorium is a beautifully aged example of prewar American craftsmanship, with a warm, open voice that only decades of honest play can produce. It’s had a handful of thoughtful repairs, including a back crack repair, top crack reinforcement with a maple cleat, and a filled and reslotted bridge—now fitted with a replacement saddle and bridge plate saver for long-term stability. The bridge has been lightly shaved to improve action without compromising tone or structure. Despite its age, the guitar remains lively and responsive, with a woody, well-balanced tone that rewards a light touch. 

Includes 60s/ 70s hard shell case.
*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
