1957 Levin Model 315N/M1 natural

Made in Sweden

Good condition, 6,5/10, Made in Sweden, including very worn brown original softshell case, has had a professional neck reset done in our workshop to make sure the action is perfect, all original parts but the black DeArmond and knobs (Clear ribbed gold metal capped knobs over numbered gold metal washer) are typical for 1960 so perhaps this guitar was sent back to the factory in that year to have the pickup installed as it looks perfect and original, another theory is that this guitar was put together in 1960 with an older neck but we can't be sure), worn and flat frets, a couple of repaired cracks in both top and back, and a tiny crack by the output jack, gold hardware, 1pc gold DeArmond pickup, more specs: The Model 315 was available in three different versions: Fully acoustic - 315 (sunburst) or 315N (natural) With 1 pickup - 315/M1 or 315N/M1 With 2 pickups - 315/M2 or 315N/M2 Specifications: (all versions) Cutaway.
