1930's B+J Serenader

B+J was a musical instrument distributor based in New York for most of the Twentieth Century. The company had instruments built for them by many of the factories that we've become familiar with, Stromberg-Voisenet (later to become Kay) among these. The Serenader name was used on a wide variety of guitars and equipment from the 1920's right on into the 1960's. The Serenader shown here has the typical Stromberg-Voisenet body, headstock, and bridge. The inlaid purfling down the center of the top is quite unusual, as is the grey/purple pearloid that covers the most of the guitar. Vintage guitars come in all different shapes and sizes, and the depression-era saw the creation of some of the most weird and wonderful instruments; this Serenader among them.
