    Bronson Melody King Model-52
    Rare item! Bronson Melody King Model-52 in stock!
    Based in Detroit, the Bronson Company was a Hawaiian Guitar lesson studio, teaching materials and accessories that accompanied it, and in the old days acoustic steel, electric steel and amplifiers were sold in stores and catalog mail order. Bronson's electric steel guitars are mainly manufactured by Dickerson, Valco, Rickenbacker, etc., and this time we have one manufactured by Rickenbacker. This model is based on the Rickenbacker MODEL-B/BD manufactured from the late 1940s to the early 1950s. Brown bakelite body, gold cavity cover, horseshoe pickup, head cover, Bronson Melody King plate, original bakelite control knobs, etc., give it a tasteful look that is a little different from the original Rickenbacker. Small scratches, scratches and bruises on the whole, small paint chips on the body plate. Peeling of the plating on the peg knob, and scratches and line scratches on the head cover.
    In addition, the pickup mount integrated tail piece has lost color due to aging and wiring has been modified, but it has been reworked so as not to spoil the atmosphere of the time. There is a feeling of use appropriate for the model year, but considering that it has been over 70 years old, I think it is still in good condition! The sweet and glossy sound and comfortable sustain are exceptional. A rare item that is hard to find on the market! Please take this opportunity.
