'diamond in the rough' deal on CL?

Post by brycycle »

i am not sure how valuable these particular steels are - but i'm assuming having the amp presented sweetens the deal:

That's a late 30s-early 40s Silver Hawaiian with the period correct amp. It's essentially a brass/brass-steel/steel body Model 59 with a height adjustable pickup. In great shape they can bring more than $1500. If the amp were in really great condition, it might be worth as much as $500 to some collectors.
