1957 GUYATONE LG50 ELECTRIC GUITAR FOR SALE

SOLD

The Guyatone has been sympathetically restored using original or period correct parts whilst carefully preserving its genuine road-worn patina. If you are interested in owning this guitar, to understand it fully, I would urge you to watch the videos about its resurrection. You can also read, in more detail, my thoughts on the whole project here.
