For sale, I'm helping a friend sell this who doesn't do the online thing. Describing it to the best of my ability! I believe the neck to be a 20's or 30's Oscar Schmidt, and is pretty fancy with the vine inlays. Neck is in very good condition. Frets have only a bit of wear. The tuners are friction tuners and the neck was missing them, these were added. Also the binding on one side totally replaced. The pot is an open back, metal clad, 11". New head. The neck was originally mounted with a dowel stick - The neck would not fit properly to the pot so the dowl stick was removed and a Cood Rod was put in it's place. The dowel stick will be included with the sale. If someone should ever wish to remount the neck with the dowel stick, that could be done, however the dowel stick might need to be lengthened just a bit. The dowel was carefully removed from the neck and nothing was damaged that would prevent a dowel stick from being remounted to the neck. Standard Grover type bridge, and it currently has a new set of LaBella nylon strings on it. Decent five string case included which is obviously not the correct case, but will be fine for shipping. As with most items I post, the price is probably negotiable a bit, or we can discuss the shipping being paid from this end. If not happy with it of course it can be returned. Thanks for looking! If any questions or additional photos are needed, fire me an email or give me a call (numbers shown below) cell phone probably best! Good luck!
