Vintage guitars for sale: Leeds

The frets are quite worn but it??s super playable, it??s got a really quick and silky ... more

I bought this bass last year, and although it's a fantastic instrument, I bought it because of my love of The Police, not my need for yet another P Bass
I'll try to give as much info as possible, but I don't know all that much unfortunately
The serial number dates to 1978, however the previous owner believed it could date be as late as 1980 given Fenders of the era. The finish on the back of the body isn't original, and is a strange matte finish. The front of the body could be original ... more

1965 Dobro D40 manufactured in the Gardena factory in California during the last period when the company was under Dopyera family control
Fair condition for age. There have been issues with the side veneers but they are now stable. The internal structure has not been affected as shown by the internal photos
Unusually the cover plate has 3 lines of holes in the 'arches' rather than the usual 2. This is because the factory used cover plates left over from the 'fiddle edged' Dobros

It is in excellent condition, as close to its original state as one might hope for. It has only very minor blemishes (see photos) as you??d expect from normal wear and tear over 50+ years. It is well played and has that vintage feel. The action is exactly how I like it with minimal discernible fret buzz
The exact date of manufacturing is unknown but it is estimated between ... more
