This B-6 is in a very nice and in mostly original shape. It sports the highly desirable 1.5" large prewar style patented Horseshoe pickup with original electronics. It works great and sounds amazing! It has age appropriate marks here and there from normal use. The white celluloid plates on this fine example are in far better condition than most from this era. The tuners work well and feature vintage correct buttons. It comes in its original hard well fitting shell case.

Very Good Plus (VG+) to Excellent (E) Condition
