The fretboard is ebony scavenged from a wood sculpture he purchased at a flea market. Fret markers are a variety of old US and Latin American coins. (Note: one ‘half-coin†fret marker seems to be missing. Will hunt for it, but it doesn’t affect the play.) Grover tuners.

This guitar has what I’d call that great Old Gibson tone - plenty of bark and bite for blues and folk and even a little rock. (I usually had it tuned to open G or open D.
Included:
Hard shell case
Baggs M1A soundhole pick up (these weissenborns sound killer amplified)
A steel ‘tone bar’
Dunlop finger picks
If I have them, a spare set of strings (strings on it are very recent)
This is a unique instrument so I feel pretty firm on a damn fair price.
We’ll call it a ‘shelter-in-place/Hunker down’ special. Take this time when we are staying put, riding out the pandemic to discover and learn a super cool skill. I’m thinning the
