On come on, this is pretty lovely isn't it? This old war horse dates from 1955, with a "W" prefix serial printed inside the F hole. It has lived a life as the scars can tell, many years ago there was a split on the side which has been professionally repaired with internal splints.
There are no neck breaks and no issues with the body to neck join.
Obviously there are many scuffs and marks from its 70 year lifetime. The last owner bought this from a friend who bought it from Pete Doherty. There is no paper trail sadly but all seems to add up. Also the very tired and unusable case was kept with the guitar, this bears a Pete style doodle in the lid.
It has been cleaned and set up on our work bench and is a joy to play, that P90 is something else.
