F-13 Acoustic

Description

Original Archive Info

This model number may be incorrect. *
Since the label cannot be read on this one F13 may be a typo and it may in fact be an MF13

F13 front
F13 back

 

* Update March 2016:
The F-13 model designation is confirmed as correct.
The following specifications and a wonderfully complete set pictures come from a Feb 2011 eBay ad for a 1974 Model F-13 located in Japan. Note the “ghost” circle on the head stock which we assume is glue from an owner/seller applied sticker.
This guitar was advertised as being “seller refurbished” but no details were given. It appears, however, to be all original and has simply been detailed and cleaned.
