It's a Valco-era Diana that's been refinished and given new tuners.

Oy!
If I still lived in Iowa City, I’d be driving the 19 miles to Mt Vernon to score that beauty. Sure, she ain’t finish original, but it looks pretty solid.

You can catch a glimpse of the original Valco string-through pickup in a couple of the pictures. Pretty block of wood and cool, unusual hard case. Heck of a deal for someone nearby.Steve Lipsey wrote: 18 Feb 2025 9:36 pm Wow...look at the resonator she also has for sale...a Frankenstein instrument for sure!!
