Guitar
There are alot of acoustic guitars out there so I rarely highlight them but every once in a while one catches my eye. This Kingston (Japan) is nice looking and unique enough to rate a second look. I wouldn't worry about that neck repair - it looks pretty solid and probably done a long time ago. Japanese Dreadnaught's often have very heavy poly finish which inhibits the tone but this Kingston looks old enough that it could possibly have had a Nitro finish - either way it is nice old tone wood.

For sale is a very rare 1960's Kingston Acoustic Guitar.
My father in law left this here over a year and a half ago and has just been in the closet.
I did some search and this was made by the same company that did Teisco, kingston and many more japan guitars!
I was giving the ok to sell this and he said its all the original Hardware and it has a repair on the heel of the neck. A crack was professionally fixed many years ago.
Comes in a case and will include a stand!
Asking: $120 obo
