Ozark Brass Resonator guitar

Pre-owned

£380.00

Here we have a quality brass resonator guitar by Ozark. Unfortunately the guitar sustained some fire damage – while we have returned it to a nicely playable condition, please be aware that cosmetically it is not in pristine condition. This mostly affects the edge binding on the neck which has melted (but is smooth and without sharp areas), and to a lesser extent the top of the headstock. (See pics for close-ups)
That said, the guitar still plays great and sounds wonderful. So if a little cosmetic damage doesn’t bother you, you could pick up a great Resonator at a knock-down price! Why not pop in to the shop and try it out?

NB: Postage to UK only – with tracking and insurance.
Can be viewed and tried at our premises.
All instruments are professionally set up by our team at Portobello Music.
Questions welcome.
