Vintage 50’s Electric Archtop Guitar

Vintage 50’s electric archtop guitar

This instrument was presumably built in the Netherlands and dates back to the 1950’s. This old boy got some bluesy roots!

This unique guitar would be the perfect decor piece to hang on the wall of a bar, cabin or mancave!

After 70 years the guitar remains in good condition but shows signs of wear and use.
The patina it got due to many years of playing only adds to it’s character by giving it this relic look!
Due to years of temperature changes the wooden neck bent downwards making it difficult to tune and play.
Perhaps it might still be useable for slide playing.
Except of minimal treatment and replacing the strings I decided to leave the guitar in its original condition and leave it up to the next owner to either keep it that way or fully restore it.
I cannot guarantee that the pickup is till functional, I haven’t been able to try it out because of its old jack connection.
