Re: SDNGD
its one of those '1946' or something ones, definitely a republic though - complete with crap tuners Neck wood is a bit unknown as its not as dark as mine. Nice enough though I had to buy some strings for mine as I realised I'd not played it for over a year and the strings were rusty! *cough*
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: SDNGD
Ahhh 1959, the guy Phil in Dunedin. Then it is the same guitar and matt finish as my Aiersi branded one. That'll be a good'un then, get that paint off, mine became loud and clear when I fixed it.
Mine has a light coloured neck as well with some figure to it, specs say mahogany

Re: SDNGD
Nah mine is just plain matt silver. Sold my single cone with palm tree engraving to Wellyblues. Once I get set up and back on my feet in the Hutt, I am looking at a steel body 12 fret single, and Aersi were so good to deal with I'll probably order from them again.

Re: SDNGD
Shanghai, they are the factory that makes Republic, 1959 and and a bucket load of brands around the world including the single cone I sold. I ordered their own branded one direct from the factory and it arrived in 7 days.

Look under Bluegrass
I got mine for $400 US plus shipping, they are on ebay and if you make an offer they will generally accept low ball offers.
