This is a very cool old guitar and other than the neck issue and de lamination it’s in great shape!

Comments

  1. So it’s not pre war, I was confused by the serial number information on this site.

  2. It’s looking more and more like these Synchro 100s were made during the war years, and in the couple of years following. It’s my opinion that they were discontinued by the 50s.

  3. Ed, do you know when they started to date stamp pots?

  4. This guitar sounds great! I like the funky neck, its cool.
