1939 Gibson Recording King M3

FON # EW-1026. Some guitars just have it all. From the original stampedKluson tuning machines (which are the same that are found on many high-endGibsons of the era - and worth about five or six hundred) to the exquisitebound fire-stripe pickguard and the sunburst-on-all-sides original finish,this is a scrumptiously appealing guitar. It features a solid red-sprucecarved top, maple back and sides, Brazilian rosewood fingerboard and bridge,and pearl headstock inlays and position markers. It is original right downto the tuner screws! Frets and neck are in great shape, with only someminor fret wear and worn finish on the back of the neck. Playability isgreat, thanks in part to this instrument's first-ever set up done righthere!
The nut measures 1 -3/4", scale length of 24-3/4". Superbly comfortablerounded neck profile with the slightest hint of a V. To top it off, itcomes with its original soft-shell case! Wow.
