Description

The Gibson Roy Smeck Radio Grande is an exceptionally rare Hawaiian model briefly produced in the 1930s. It's built with gorgeous Brazilian rosewood back and sides, an infrequent spec compared to the more common mahogany back and sides on Gibson dreadnoughts. A tight grain spruce top and original fire strip pickguard are captivating components of a special guitar. It remains in exceptional shape for its age - our in-house repair team performed a bridge reglue and repaired a side crack as well as a B-string crack extending from bridge to top of pickguard.

Includes Lifton hard shell case with brown lining.
