1930s Kay Del Oro "Fauxbro" Resonator Acoustic Guitar w/ Case

Check out this neat old Faux-bro! 

The great resonator boom of the 1930s had every budget-friendly manufacturer scrambling to make an affordable option for their customers. Brass, Aluminum, and chrome plating were expensive..... if only there was a way to give people the look of a Dobro Resonator without the expense....  Just make it out of wood and hit it with a contrasting color and some stencils!  Boom! The Faux-bro is born.  From twenty feet away, it is absolutely convincing to most folks to be an actual resonator. We've even had a few people pick it up in the store and sit down with it, play a few licks and say: "this resonator isn't very loud".  It might not be able to slice through a banjo like a metal resonator, but it can lay down a nice wooly jangly percussive rhythm part. It's an instant snarling blues box when tuned to an open E. It's a good songwriting friend and a fantastic porch picker. It's got the vibe. It's just cool. It does have a unique sound, and it's a blast to play. The tuners have been replaced and the guitar has had all of the typical structural repairs that one should expect on a nearly 100 year old instrument. The neck is straight and has been reset at a proper angle. There is a slight gap at the heel but it is stable and not currently affecting playability. The body has several sealed cracks and seam separations, nothing uncommon. It feels substantial in the hands and a borescope and blacklight exploration showed no signs of issues in the near future. It's built like a tank! The body and neck have been refinished, the wooden resonator plate has not. All structural and finish repairs occurred a long time ago so it still presents as an old and well-played instrument and not a freshly refurbished glossy piece. Again, it's cool. The neck is a nice and chunky V-shape. It plays great with low action and comes with an old chipboard case.
