(tax incl.)
Good condition, 6/10, Made in Sweden, light oversprayed top and heel and upper part of the sides to cover a repaired heel and some dents in the top, not sanded or buffed so a satin sheen done by an amateur, traces of an old neck reset with chips on the bass side of the heel, wrong style repro pickguard (too short and for cutaway, made in Korea by Peerless) so there is a filled hole on the top and an open screw hole on the side, original bridge and small thumbwheels (typical for pre 1950), original tailpiece, original tuners, original endpin (white plastic), barely any fretwear, huge tone, these wartime Royals had some specs that differed from other eras; Mahogany neck instead of maple, celluloid blocks in the fingerboard instead of mother-of-pearl, rosewood in the bridge and fingerboard instead of ebony, this gives a special sound and feel to the guitar that some people appreciate and love
