Levin / Model 1 Deluxe 18 Inch Archtop / 1951 / Guitar

When WWII finally came to a close the Levin company, who had been building instruments as early as 1897, offered a full-fledged line of high-quality fretted instrument. When the company officially closed over 50 years later they had made a name for themselves as the premier European builder of archtop and other guitars. This very rare instrument is the Levin Model 1 Deluxe which Levin first started making in 1937. This specific instrument was made in 1951 and also boasts a Kjell pickup which was installed somewhere in the 1950s. This super jumbo orchestra style guitar is comparable to for example a Gibson Super 400 or the Epiphone emperor. Carved out of all solid tonewoods with Walnut for the back and sides and a spruce top this instrument has a very premium feel and sound. Its massive 18 5/8" lower bout width is only exceeded by the famed Stromberg master 400. The condition of this fine, vintage instrument is Good; it looks very clean with some weather checking and expected playwear/signs of use, there is one repaired centerseam on top and the instrument had a refret ensuring great playability for years to come! Includes original hardshell case.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
