I'm re-listing this guitar after a bizarre fraud attempt from a guy in Arkansas:

To quote from a knowledgable reader: "This is a 26" Stringmaster from 1953-54 ('55?). The 26" 33 fret long neck models with chrome pickup covers, black slider switches, no pickup blend control pots were discontinued soon after. In good condition, this is a great guitar."

This is selling in as-found condition; i.e., not very clean. At some point years ago, someone attempted to add pedals to the front neck, and a crude bridge roller mechanism remains. "Woodworking with a steak knife."

It's clearly a project, but could be very worthwhile for someone inclined to do it. I'm selling it for $500 in the original case.
