1960s Standel E-6N Dreadnought Guitar


I feel like an inordinate amount of Standel-made dreadnoughts have made their way into the shop. Here's the same model from a few years ago. Here's the same thing but sunburst. Here's the same thing but with a different headstock and name.

The gist of these is that they look a bit like a Gibson Dove or Hummingbird in profile, have Gibson-style short scale lengths, Guild-style plywood back and sides with an arched back, Japanese-style adjustable bridges, Guild-like neck profiles and dual truss rods, and a sound that's a bit of all of those.

This one was just in for light repair -- a level/dress of the frets and full setup -- and now it's ready to go and playing spot-on.
