Description

This 1940 Recording King M-3 is a vintage archtop with a classic Sunburst finish and the distinctive character of a prewar instrument. Its compact body and arched construction offer a focused, articulate response that suits traditional jazz, blues, and roots styles. The guitar shows player wear consistent with its age, and cracking along the back from apparent water damage has been repaired and stabilized. A fret level has also been performed, and the instrument remains in good overall condition with plenty of vintage character.

Includes Washburn hard shell case.
