Description
What makes this guitar special: These don't come around very often, so it's a real treat to have one as cool as this in the shop! According to the Vintage Guitar Guide, Duo-Trons debuted in 1947 & were made into the '50s. This beauty is a fully hollow body featuring a laminate spruce top with flame maple back & sides. The floating neck pickup has a cool gold cover, similar to the tailpiece mount, which features master volume & tone controls along with an additional tone switch. The guitar produces a wonderful warm, rich tone with a beautiful, natural acoustic resonance. Professionally inspected & set up by the experts at Cream City Music, so it plays & sounds fantastic!
