Built during the company’s formative years in Kalamazoo, this instrument represents a key moment in the evolution of the modern guitar, bridging the gap between traditional flat-top construction and the carved archtop designs that would later define jazz and early American popular music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe guitar retains all the original parts.  The trapeze tailpiece and pickguard are in excellent condition - parts that can deteriorate on these guitars.  I did have to add one tuner button.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere is just one crack, near the endpin on the side.  The back was separated from the sides in a couple places.  My luthier got it right, using hide glue.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI can't determine if the frets are original or not, but they're in remarkably good shape, and the guitar plays well.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTonally, the L-1 offers a dry, woody, and highly articulate voice with a focused low end, strong midrange presence, and clear, cutting highs. The carved top contributes to a quick, immediate response with excellent note separation, making it ideal for fingerstyle playing, early blues, ragtime, and vintage acoustic styles. The smaller body size provides an intimate, responsive feel, while the instrument’s age adds a depth and maturity to the tone that is impossible to replicate in modern builds. Chords remain clear and defined, and single-note lines carry a distinctive vintage character that records beautifully.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChipboard case included.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1508\" data-end=\"1745\"\u003eAs with all instruments at Mahar’s Vintage Guitars, it has been fully inspected, photographed accurately, and professionally evaluated to ensure it plays its absolute best. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1508\" data-end=\"1745\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/pages\/sell-vintage-guitars\" title=\"Sell your vintage guitar or amp to Mahar's Vintage Guitars\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe buy, sell, and take trades.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"2113\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"1794\"\u003eExcerpts from real online end-user reviews:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1794\" data-end=\"1797\"\u003e“Early Gibson archtops have a unique, woody tone.” – Acoustic Guitar Forum\u003cbr data-start=\"1871\" data-end=\"1874\"\u003e“Incredibly articulate and responsive.” – The Gear Page\u003cbr data-start=\"1929\" data-end=\"1932\"\u003e“Perfect for ragtime and early blues.” – Harmony Central\u003cbr data-start=\"1988\" data-end=\"1991\"\u003e“A true piece of guitar history.” – Reddit r\/AcousticGuitar\u003cbr data-start=\"2050\" data-end=\"2053\"\u003e“Vintage character you can’t replicate.” – Ultimate Guitar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2585\" data-end=\"2791\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2177\" data-start=\"2105\"\u003eBe sure to check out the other cool guitar related stuff on our site\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2180\" data-start=\"2177\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"All Vintage \u0026amp; Used Acoustic Guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/martin-guitars-used-vintage-acoustic\"\u003eMartin Acoustic Guitars\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2208\" data-start=\"2205\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Vintage \u0026amp; Used Gibson Guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/gibson-guitars\"\u003eGibson Guitars Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2236\" data-start=\"2233\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"All acoustic guitars at Mahar's Vintage Guitars\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/collections\/vintage-acoustic-guitars-martin-gibson-guild\"\u003eAll of Our Vintage Acoustic Guitars\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2295\" data-start=\"2292\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Sell your vintage guitar to Mahar's Vintage Guitars\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/pages\/who-buys-vintage-instruments\"\u003eWe Buy Guitars\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2585\" data-end=\"2791\"\u003eSPECS:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor: Natural\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 4 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop: Spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: Mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck Profile: Tapered V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFretboard: Ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInlays: Mother of Pearl Dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrets: Original\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFret count: 19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut: New Bone Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNut width: 1-11\/16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScale: 24-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRadius: 12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck thickness at 1st fret: 1.08\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck thickness at 10th fret: 1.4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTotal length: 38-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody length: 18-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLower bout: 13-5\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWaist: 8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpper bout: 10\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody depth\/thickness: 3-3\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eString gauge: .012-.053\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: Original Bakelite Tortoise Shell, all Original Hardware Intact\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge: Original bridge, Original Bakelite trapeze tailpiece. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTuners: Original 3 x3 In Line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase: Unremarkable Non Original Chipboard Case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNotes: \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShipping policy:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are multiple shipping cost options for purchases made on our site.  Select Ground, 3 Day, 2 Day, or Next Day Air Saver.  For Reverb purchases, there is one cost option for Eastern states -

Nine million of them sold, Arthur Godfrey endorsed it on television, and uke players have been hunting clean examples ever since. The Maccaferri plastic guitar is an entirely different story — far rarer, far less understood, and in the estimation of many serious collectors, one of the most fascinating instruments ever manufactured in America.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMario Maccaferri introduced his plastic guitar line in 1953, four years after the Islander ukulele made him famous. Where the uke had been conceived as an affordable starter instrument, the guitars were intended as something else entirely — a serious alternative to wood for professional players, engineered to eliminate the acoustic sensitivities that plague wooden instruments in changing humidity and temperature. Maccaferri had spent years designing guitars for Selmer in Paris — the same guitars Django Reinhardt made immortal — and he brought that luthier's intelligence to every detail of the plastic guitar's construction. The adjustable neck angle, the precisely molded and integrated fretboard, the zero fret for playability, the Dow Styron material chosen specifically for its acoustic properties after months of testing alternatives — none of this was toy thinking. Guitarists didn't listen. They rejected the idea of a plastic guitar almost on principle, sales were slow, and Maccaferri eventually stopped production in 1969. He had a warehouse full of unsold guitars. Compared to nine million ukuleles, the guitars were made in small numbers and survive in smaller ones still.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is a G16 — the base model of the Islander guitar line, a six-string flattop in the ivory and dark marble Styron colorway with a 24.5\" scale length and 34.5\" overall length. The body, neck, and fretboard are entirely Styron, injection molded in Maccaferri's signature construction: the fret and dot-marker spine formed first as a single integrated unit, then over-molded with the body material to create a fingerboard. Friction metal pegs with ivory plastic buttons, original plastic bridge and pickguard, all intact. At 3 lbs 0.5 oz this is a featherweight instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eStyron polystyrene is brittle — it does not flex, it snaps — and decades of temperature changes have split an enormous percentage of surviving Maccaferri guitars. A crack-free example in excellent condition is genuinely uncommon. This one is clean throughout, and the original Mastro box is intact, which completes it as a collector's piece that tells the full story of one of the most ambitious and misunderstood instruments in American guitar history. Jack White plays one.

Tapered bracing frees up the perimeter of the lower bout more than straight bracing does, producing a guitar that is punchy, articulate, and dynamically responsive in ways that are distinct from both the scalloped pre-war examples and the later straight-braced instruments. Players and collectors who have spent serious time with 1945-1949 Martins often describe them as underrated precisely because they are neither pre-war nor the familiar post-war straight-braced instruments — they occupy their own tonal territory. The herringbone trim — a German-made product no longer available after World War II — was discontinued in 1947. The dot fingerboard inlays correctly identify this as 1946 production, the year Martin transitioned from slotted diamond inlays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis example is in what I call \"no excuses\" condition.  The finish is original with no overspray anywhere.  There are no cracks and no extra holes from things that plague other guitars: strap buttons, tuner changes, added pickups, etc.  It is extremely difficult to find any guitar from this era that has been spared most of the usual issues - this one has survived without any funny business whatsoever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe bridge is original.

The original nut and saddle are included. A neck reset on a guitar of this age is normal, expected maintenance on a vintage flat-top that has been strung and played for decades — when performed correctly it returns the instrument to factory specification and its best possible playing condition. That is the case here. Action is set at 3\/32\" on both strings at the twelfth fret and the guitar is playing at the top of its capability right now. The original hardshell case is included; it has a broken hinge and has been painted over the original black and is now brown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"standard-markdown grid-cols-1 grid [\u0026amp;_\u0026gt;_*]:min-w-0 gap-3\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe buyer for this guitar understands exactly what a crack-free 1946 D-28 Herringbone in original finish with original bridge, bridgeplate, and Waverly tuners represents, freshly reset and ready to play.  It is a guitar that will always be more desirable than one with any of the typical changes seen on most examples.  Through the years, it will stand out as original guitars become more and more impossible to find.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe tone and resonance of this guitar are remarkable.  Our jaws are on the floor.  It is pure magic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"Sell your vintage guitar to Mahar's Vintage Guitars\" href=\"https:\/\/www.maharsvintageguitars.com\/pages\/sell-vintage-guitars\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWe buy, sell, and take trades.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-end=\"2177\" data-start=\"2105\"\u003eBe sure to check out the other cool guitar related stuff on our site\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-end=\"2180\" data-start=\"2177\"\u003e\u003ca title=\"All Vintage \u0026amp;

The G30 is the centerpiece of that second act.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced in the early-to-mid 1950s through Maccaferri's French American Reeds Manufacturing Company, the G30 was molded entirely from Dow Styron, a high-impact polystyrene that was cutting-edge industrial material at the time. The body, neck, fretboard, bridge, saddle, nut, and internal bracing are all Styron — the neck reinforced with a wood and aluminum composite to maintain stability. Maccaferri sold millions of these, famously endorsed by Arthur Godfrey on national television. These guitars have a distinct acoustic voice — bright, present, with a surprising amount of sustain given their construction — and they occupy a genuinely unique place in the American guitar story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example presents well for its age. The white top and wood-grain patterned back and sides finish is original and in good shape, with no cracks. The body measures 17-3\/4\" in length with a 13-3\/8\" lower bout and 3-1\/2\" depth, giving it a full-sized acoustic silhouette that surprises people who expect something toy-like. The 24.75\" scale length and 1-7\/8\" nut width make it a comfortable, familiar feel, and the 12\" fretboard radius and D-profile neck (.831\" at the first fret, .936\" at the tenth) play more like a conventional guitar than you'd expect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAction is set at 5\/32\" on both the first and sixth strings at the 12th fret — playable and reasonable. There's a zero fret at the nut.  The neck condition is noted as fair, with a headstock faceplate reglue — a common repair on these and structurally sound when done right. The low E planetary-style banjo tuner does not hold tension and would need attention.

In 1920, Gibson was building these guitars by hand in Kalamazoo, carving tops rather than pressing them, and the L-3 sat just above the entry-level L-1 in the catalog. These instruments were the working guitars of the early jazz and ragtime era, and surviving examples in playable condition are genuinely scarce. The finish on this one is original and in amazing shape for a 106 year old guitar. The ebony fretboard, bone nut, and original ebony bridge and saddle are period-correct details that matter to collectors. The original tortoiseshell pickguard survives as well. This is a legitimate piece of American guitar-making history from Gibson's early years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA hand-carved solid spruce top over laminated maple back and sides in a 13-3\/4\" lower-bout archtop body is the construction formula here. That combination — carved spruce responding to a shallow, relatively narrow arched body — produces a focused, midrange-forward tone with natural compression and a woody, dry character typical of early Gibson archtops. This is not a loud guitar by modern standards, but it projects with clarity and has the kind of intimate, woody resonance that makes these early L-series instruments appealing for fingerpicking, chord melody, and parlor-style playing. At 4 lbs 4 oz with a 24-1\/8\" scale and 1-7\/8\" nut, it plays like the small, comfortable instrument it is. Overall condition is good for a guitar that has been around since 1920 — over a century of use and it still holds together and plays.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tailpiece is non-original — that is the most significant departure from stock. The headstock was modified to accept the current generic repro MIJ open-gear tuners, which are also non-original. The nut has been shimmed. The bridge has been shimmed at some point as well, though it is original. There was a refret done at some point — it's described as well done, and fret condition is very good. The back shows signs of repair near the rear, possibly from shrinkage pulling the back away from the sides; there is a cleat visible inside on the back. Action is low at 2\/32\" on both the first and sixth strings at the 12th fret. A non-original output-jack-style strap button is present at the rear.

Overall condition is excellent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chunky C \/ modified soft V neck profile and 1-11\/16\" nut width offer perfect playability. The neck has been reset.  A new nut and saddle was added when the guitar was refretted.  Someone did a nice job, making this guitar a great player with the usual and expensive work now completed ahead of your purchase of the guitar.  Grover enclosed tuners and a black tortoise-style pickguard round out the spec sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFinish is original and in very good condition with beautiful lacquer checking, honest wear, and standard dings throughout — The guitar has been played but was well cared for. Frets are in very good condition with no repairs. Fretboard and neck are both in excellent shape. The original Martin Blue molded case is included; it is in good condition with one issue — the door on the inside compartment is broken.

Brass produces a warmer, rounder fundamental with more sustain and a less aggressive high-end bite — still clear and present, but with a smoothness that suits fingerstyle playing and slide work equally well. The 24.5\" scale and biscuit-style ebony bridge keep the response lively without excess tension. This example is in excellent overall condition and a beautiful setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Dobro Model 36-1 'The Rose' takes its name from the engraved floral pattern covering the brass body — a more ornate variant within the Dobro resonator line. The brass body construction, ebony fretboard, bone nut, and Grover tuners reflect a well-specified instrument built for players who want resonator tone without sacrificing feel or fit-and-finish. The rounded U maple neck with a 12\"-14\" compound radius fretboard and 1-3\/4\" nut width make for a comfortable, predictable feel across the neck. All original hardware and finish are present and correct.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is buckle rash on the back that could not be polished out — this is the primary cosmetic issue and is visible in the photos. The brass top, sides, neck, fretboard, frets, bridge, saddle, and nut are all in excellent condition with no repairs. Action measures 2\/32\" on both the first and sixth strings at the 12th fret. The original case is included and rates very good condition with no odor. No documentation is included. String gauge is a 16-56 resonator set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eColor: chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Condition: very good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 8lbs 14.5oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOverall Length: 38\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Width: 1-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eString Spacing At Bridge: 1.966\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eScale Length: 24.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 1st String At 12th Fret: 2\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 6th String At 12th Fret: 2\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Material: maple\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Profile: Rounded C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInlay: clay dot\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 1st Fret: .837\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 10th Fret: .999\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuner Brand And Model: Grover\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuners Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChanges To Headstock For Tuners?: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTruss Rod Cover: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Original: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Material: bone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Material: ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Radius: 12\"-14\" compound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Count: 19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Length: 18-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eLower Bout: 14-1\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWaist: 8-3\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eUpper Bout: 10-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Depth\/Thickness: 3-3\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Material: brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Condition: excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Cracks: n\/a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBack \u0026amp;

This combination provides clear, articulate top end with strong note separation and good projection.  25.5\" scale length, ebony fretboard, and ebony bridge.  A top seam separation was also professionally repaired, the bridge reglued, and the entire guitar has been refinished.  Whomever did the work did a fantastic job.  A pickup system was professionally installed as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Guild F-50 BLD is part of Guild's flagship jumbo series, built in the Westerly, Rhode Island factory during the period when Guild was producing some of the most respected flattop acoustics in the country. The BLD designation indicates a natural blonde finish over flamed maple back and sides. The three-piece mahogany\/walnut\/mahogany neck, ebony board, mother-of-pearl and abalone block inlays, and Grover Rotomatic tuners reflect the higher-tier appointments Guild put into the J-50. These instruments are legitimate alternatives to vintage Gibsons and Martins and have developed a strong collector following.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe headstock shows some finish cloudiness.

At under four pounds, this is a genuinely comfortable instrument to hold. Overall cosmetic condition is excellent for a guitar of this age — the original sunburst finish is intact and presents well, with no top cracks and no repairs to the top, back, sides, or neck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKay produced enormous numbers of affordable instruments through the 1950s, and their parlor guitars from this era have earned a following among players who want a compact, all-original acoustic with vintage character at an accessible price. The combination of spruce top, maple body, ladder bracing, and a short 24-1\/2\" scale is typical of mid-century Kay construction. The flat-radius fretboard and slim nut width of 1-1\/2\" reflect the student-grade intent, but these guitars hold up in regular use and have genuine tonal personality. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guitar needs a neck reset to be playable in the higher register.  The tuners are not original, and the headstock has an added screw hole to accommodate them. One bridge pin is unmatched. The original frets show light wear and just need a polishing. Action sits at 5\/32\" on both the first and sixth strings at the 12th fret. The case included is an era-correct chipboard case, not original to this guitar, in fair condition with no handle. String gauge on the guitar currently is 12-53.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product-spec-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eColor: sunburst\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Original?: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFinish Condition: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWeight: 3lbs 15oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eOverall Length: 38-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Width: 1-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eString Spacing At Bridge: 1-1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eScale Length: 24-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 1st String At 12th Fret: 5\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eAction 6th String At 12th Fret: 5\/32\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Material: poplar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eInlay: painted dot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 1st Fret: .963\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Thickness At 10th Fret: 1.12\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Condition: Good - needs a neck reset\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNeck Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuner Brand And Model: generic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTuners Original?: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eChanges To Headstock For Tuners?: yes, screw hole added\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTruss Rod Cover: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Original: Unsure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Material: Not known\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eNut Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Material: stained hardwood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Condition: good\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Radius: flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFretboard Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Condition: very good - light wear, just need polishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eFret Count: 19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Length: 17-7\/8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eLower Bout: 14-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eWaist: 8\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eUpper Bout: 9-1\/2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBody Depth\/Thickness: 4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Material: spruce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Condition: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Cracks: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Repairs: none\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding: yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eTop Binding Condition: Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"product-spec\"\u003eBack \u0026amp;
