| No way to tell just looking, but the price is low. At least at the moment, no telling where it will wind up. I paid about $1,300 for my 1955 D8 a few years back. |

It's low now, but it won't be a minute before the auction ends.
I'm surprised it isn't being parted-out, that's what "hankeroo" usually does. |

Very similar to my D-8. Just because it isn't a blonde should not sway you. This is from my favorite period for these, the early 60's. The medium scale length, the brown case, the blender pots. Hubba-hubba! Probably a really great Stringmaster.

Yup! He especially rips apart the old Harmony/Silvertone lap steels...

I just yesterday bougth on EBAY a triple neck blonde Stringmaster, supposedly from 1954. The seller had excellent Feedback on a bunch of instruments sold, so I made an offer for $1300 on his original price of $1600. Hope the guitar plays and sounds as nice as it looks. There was one (it is still on EBAY) that looked the same for $2300. stevet
