NBN Acoustic Guitars - NBN Acoustic GuitarMPN: NBN Acoustic Guitar This NBN Acoustic Guitar has had its fair share of use, but is a great instrument. This was handmade in an old schoolhouse in Longmont, Colorado by expert craftsman Monty Novotny who produced exceptional guitars under the NBN name until 1976. One of the first small builders of the time to really take off, NBN had original, unique designs that were extremely well built, and this guitar is no exception. From its signature body shape, to its large volute, this acoustic was not meant to simply copy a Martin or a Gibson - NBN's design is all its own. It has a Sitka Spruce top, gorgeous East Indian Rosewood back and sides, offset bridge pins, and a beautiful peghead inlay. This Consignment is a unique and rare instrument, but due to its current condition we are selling it 'As Is.' It has numerous open top cracks and sections of its binding have come off in places (see photos). A previous owner added a pickup with an input jack below the strap button, but it is not functional (see photo). It could also use a neck set and a refret. While it is playable now, this would make a great project guitar, or call the experienced luthiers in our Repair Shop for a professional restoration quote. Artistically made and expertly crafted, this vintage NBN Acoustic Guitar comes in its original Justin Case (see photos). $2,950. Consignment item. Sorry, shipping not included. USED |
