Lindberg Guitars in Malta

Lindberg Samba | circa 1955

INFO

Manufactured by Rodewald HOYER in Munich, Germany during the early 50s to the mid 60s. The Samba was one of the most popular models offered by Lindberg, and it is a pretty good guitar with a solid carved spruce top and sides and back of maple. Its a non cutaway model. Its development follows the timeline. In the fifties it was black , but from around 1960 it was also available in sunburst colors. The 6 V-shaped white stripes on a black background date back to 1955 but they were certainly built longer; very likely until 1957/58 - (info obtained by schlaggitarren.de/archtop/rodebald-hoyer)

 

This Jazz Archtop guitar in full playable condition. With good string action at 2.5 mm at the 12th fret 1st E string. Its black finish. The fretboard has been oiled up and cleaned and the frets polished with no major dings along them all. This guitar carries with it the usual vintage guitar age lines. There are some age-related and authentic signs of use all around. Which gives it the real vintage vibe guitar that was used and pre-loved throughout its lifetime. This is a true vintage guitar, with over 60 years old.
