Levin / LN26 Goliath / 1965 / Sunburst / Guitar For Sale
|
The Levin Goliath was hugely popular in the UK and Europe during the 60’s as this model was played by Pete Townsend and Eric Clapton, among many others. It features a Spruce top with Maple back and sides, with a vivid tobacco sunburst, distinctive fingerboard markers and a very cool truss rod cover. Tonally it has real bite in the mid-range, sparkling trebles, as well as great bass response, making it a very versatile guitar – just as comfortable with delicate fingerstyle right through to heavy strumming. These guitars were renowned for being equal, and in some cases better, in sound and build to the best CF Martin guitars of the day – so much so, that in 1973 CF Martin brought Levin and gradually stopped production to eliminate the competition. The guitar is in very good condition, with plenty of great looking lacquer checking, and upgraded open back tuners. It’s a treat to play, with a very comfortable neck and action. It comes in it’s very cool original hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
