Levin / Model 47 / 1943 / Sunburst / Guitar For Sale
|
Levin are best known for their 60’s Goliath model, famously played by Pete Townsend and Eric Clapton, among many others. They also have a great reputation for making beautiful archtops, which are now very desirable. So it’s interesting to back to the start with their early 40’s flat tops. The Model 47 was introduced in 1940 and discontinued in 1947, meaning this is an early example. It features a Spruce top with Walnut back and sides, and a vivid tobacco sunburst. it also has ladder bracing, usually found on smaller body guitars, which gives the guitar a bluesy tone - very unusual to hear on a bigger bodied guitar. It has a fairly full feeling neck, and medium action, making it great for fingerstyle play. The guitar’s in very good condition for it’s age, with it’s share of wear and tear, and a couple of tightly repaired side cracks. Not just a piece of history, but a really useable guitar with plenty of vibe.
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.
