Gretsch Hawaiian Model 40 Hawaiian Acoustic Lap Guitar Circa 1937 w/osc Ser # 4623 Update 01-25-2012 One Ebaye wrote and told me this guitar is a 1937 read on... Many thanks for the extra info BJ... and the price adjustment is appreciated too! Hey... just so you know, this serial number translates to 1937. The America Orchestra line used a different sequential serial number system than the post-war models. Cheers! Ed. Vintage Gretsch Hawaiian Lap Guitar, Bridge has a bit of pull on it and there's some sepration at the heal but it's been that way for 20 years. I wan't even going to try and repair it till it got worse. Some of the cracks have been repaired still there are a few with issues. The The tuning machines I believe are replacements. I was going to repair this Gretsch but anybody with a bit guitar repair can do it and have a save a bunch on the guitar. I just don't have the time to repair it. If I did I'd want to keep it and I need to let it go. So I'm going to make this an AS IS USED Guitar. I just knocked off $200.00 off the buy it now price. The body is constructed of mahogany with a spruce top, and measures 16″ across the lower bout. The neck meeting the body at the 12th fret. She’s pretty beat up with all the dings, dents, scratches and checking still a playable instrument. This is a lap guitar with a behemoth of a fat neck w inlaid fret markers NO FRET WIRE . You have to play it as it was intended with a steel bar and lying flat on your lap. The case is a 4 on a 10 scale it holds the guitar. I’ve owned this guitar for over 20 years I hate to sell it but it needs some work and played not stored under the bed.
