    Wow this is pretty cool.
    FYI links are sort of swapped, the picture opens a store link and the short description goes to the picture.

    @Buco thanks, I'll fix those links!

    Yes, an amazing instrument for sure. Unlike later archtops which became more electro-acoustic in design, these pre-war models are true acoustic guitars. As I demonstrated in the video, you can actually play Django on it and it sounds fantastic...

    You can buy Model T Ford of similar vintage for around $15k-20k. I guess the Gibson held its value better... ;)
