50+ year old Vintage Archtop in Bloomington IN for $90

I can't tell the make or model on this arctop from the pic but it sounds fairly playable according tho the seller.  That stamped tailpiece is not very familiar - but there were a lot of USA guitar makers back then.

Every guitar player should own one of these at some point - I've had several and have held onto my Regal because it has the best feel and most woodsy tone.  The nice thing about archtops is they help you to focus on the tone and chords instead of soloing all over the place - so they are great for songwriting.

Cool old guitar. Plays really well up to the tenth fret; some of the notes go bad after that. A few cracks in the body. Made earlier than 1959. No brand name. With case.

I am reposting items here that are listed on CRAIGSLIST throughout the USA. I am not selling any of these items and I cannot facilitate the sale of anything here - so please do not comment or post questions like "Is this still available?" or "I am interested in your guitar please call me, etc." You need to contact the seller directly by calling the phone number listed on the post or by going to the CL listing and emailing them. NEW FEATURE: Click on the title of the CL Listing inside my post to LINK thru to the original Post. If the original CL listing is deleted the item most likely is no longer available. Thanks for checking out my blog and GOOD LUCK!



Please don't call, contact, bother or harass these sellers long after their post is expired. Take for granted if the listing is over 30 days old that the guitar or amp is LONG GONE! Thank you.
