Made in USA. 1930s. The defining instrument for the sound of Depression-era blues from the depression era. Still great for strumming and finger picking but neck needs a reset for optimal playing experience. To get where it is structurally it has had reconstruction of neck and top by Luthier Ian Noyce. Original bridge replaced by Ian Noyce. This guitar is cosmetically hammered but is massively cool and has an enormous amount of mojo. w/ moulded foam case
