Vintage 1930s The Michigan USA B&SL Sunburst Archtop Acoustic Guitar
Vintage 1930s The Michigan USA B&SL Sunburst Archtop Acoustic Guitar
This beauty was a special UK sold American import back in the 1930s. With the guitar boom of the 1930s, everyone wanted the USA made guitars. B&S L caught on and started to import these guitars direct from the States. It is uncertain whether this was made by Gibson – likely not – but ‘The Michigan’ is clearly a shout out to the Gibson guitars of the time. This one is stunning, and has likely been in the UK since it was purchased new in the 1930s. I had to buy this when the opportunity came. It’s a stunning guitar. The craftsmanship is top notch and the tone is as rich and soulful as you’d expect. In wonderful condition, and comes complete with the original hard case. You will not be disappointed. Please see the pictures as these form part of my description.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).
We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.
It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.
The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
