The early tri-cone design was intended to help the guitar be heard over the orchestras and big bands of the 1920’s, but was quickly adopted by Hawaiian, blues, jazz, and country musicians of the day. The Style 1 features a German Silver plated brass body with no engraving or ornamentation, mahogany neck, and ebony fingerboard. This particular guitar has lived for quite some time in a private collection, and is in excellent overall condition. Comes in the original hardshell case.
