Weissenborn / Style 1 / 1927 / Natural Koa / Guitar

** UPDATE. ORIG STYLE SADDLE EN ROUTE. If you have ever heard Ry Cooder, David Lindley, Greg Leisz or Ben Harper play one of these 1920s-30s Lap Hawaiians made by Hermann Weissenborn then you already know how magical they sound. The 1st time i heard one was when Greg Leisz was doing my 3 CDs with him. Mine and the producer's jaws dropped.

I have since been a hub and collector.lover and player of these most magnificent of instruments. Presented here is what appears to a be late 20s style 1. Crack free, loud as all get up!! The saddle is not original but a steel one like orig can be had made by new makers like Tony Francis if you so desire. Tuners are original but have been off and back on again (no boring) the ferrels and bridge pins only .. are repro. Comes with a newer hard shell case.

Payment: PayPal, Cash, Personal Check, Money Order/Cashier's check, Wire transfers or Western Union. Pay Pal, Credit Cards through Pay Pal only, and wire transfers are offered as a convenience for far away buyers and all extra expenses are the customer's responsibilty. Theres not enough profit in Vintage guitars to pay out 4% additional. Any time that a deposit is taken for any special arrangements or "holds" it is non refundable. To have these rules work in your favor all transactions need to be completed or deposited on w/in 5 days.

Shipping: Buyer pays shipping. Shipping will be determined on a case by case basis so as to include size, weight, distance, insured amount and method requested. Shipping is paid by customer both ways on any returns.

Returns: All parties buying through the mail or offsite are allowed a 24 hour approval/inspection period on ALL guitars, unless discussed otherwise, to make sure they are keeping their purchase (but not amps to keep shipping delicate amps back and forth to a minimum and not on parts either ... too many guys doing "switcharoo's" or wrecking them trying to install them and then trying to send them back ... sorry ... you have to reap the behavior of so many others). Buyer pays shipping. Payments must be received within 5 working days of anything placed on HOLD. When you receive the guitar your 24 hour return includes 1 day to receive it and approve or not and you must contact me. Don't just put it in the mail ..... and 2 extra days (72 hours total time) to resend it and I require a tracking number back from the customer the day of shipping and gladly supply the same to customer upon request and orig sale. I do strictly adhere to these rules. I don't mean to sound tough here but you would be amazed at the liberties taken in recent past! Thanks for your understanding and adherence. ALL Outside the USA sales are final due to extended "visits" through customs and some countries laxed attitude about shipping on time.
