A very lovely and clean example of the crinkle finish model 59. I'm pretty sure that this is 100% original, including the chipboard case. Very clean, and it's a screamer when plugged in... I also believe that it's full of old newspaper dated to 1938. I'm much more of a bakelite kind of guy, and it's time to thin the herd, so $600 plus shipping for this very nice steel guitar, including the cool original case. SALE PENDING. Plays very easily and not hard on the eyes, either. A little bit of wear on the 1.50" black horseshoe magnets, as seen in the photos.
DONATION TO SGF ONCE SALE IS FINAL. Thanks for looking, everybody.

Under-arm guitar players take note - This is a great machine for playing electric blues.

Yikes. Yes, sir - I will testify. I have a ca. 1940 Model 59, and these babies will cry the blues, indeed. They are not "polite", but they are "sweet". If I didn't have one right now, I'd have to find some way to scrape together the dough. These bad boys are underpriced, IMHO. Git 'em while you kin. I should just buy it for the pickup, 'xcept I spent all my money on a Sho Bud.  |

| Bump up for a clean tone machine. Still for sale. $600 plus shipping. This Model 59 sounds great, very shimmery and balanced, too, up and down the neck. |
