Specifications (to the best of our knowledge):
・Total Length: 93 cm (approx. 36.6 inches)
・Scale Length: 582 mm (approx. 22.9 inches)
・Nut Width: 39-40 mm (approx. 1.54-1.57 inches)
・Bracing: Ladder bracing
・Body Condition: Minor belly bulge, typical for this type of construction.
・Bridge and Saddle: Both have been filed for string height adjustment. Current string height at the 12th fret is approximately 2.5 mm (approx. 0.1 inches). Due to the short scale, the string height is not expected to hinder playability.
・Heel: Slight gap present.
Due to its vintage nature, further detailed specifications are not available. This guitar is nearly 100 years old and is in remarkably good condition for its age.
It produces a distinctively dry, deep, and resonant tone. The sound is comparable to other guitars from the same era, such as the L-00 model. This offers a fantastic vintage playing experience without the premium price often associated with higher-profile vintage models.
Includes a case, likely from the period, though its original manufacturer is unconfirmed. Please consider the case as an added bonus.
Only the items shown in the photos are included. No additional items are included beyond what is shown in the photos.
This vintage instrument is offered in used condition.
