1950s Col Joye Big Body Archtop Semi Acoustic Guitar
Here for sale is this pretty rare circa 1950s Col Joye branded big bodied electro acoustic guitar. Col Joye was an Australian musician and probably some guitars were made under his name to take advantage of his success at the time. Not too much info out thereabout these guitars, possibly its Japanese made. It has a very chunky bound neck with Rosewood fretboard and hollow arched body which I'm guessing is laminate as a pose to carved.

It features two small chrome enclosed pickus with scratchplate mounted electrics. It requires a small jack to large jack cable which I will include in the sale and it plugs in just below the scratchplate. The guitar has plenty of marks, wear and signs of age and use, there is evidence of a small repair at the heel area of the neck.

Its of its age and you can't really compare it to modern instruments but it is useable, the strings are new and the action is pretty good for this type of guitar. There is some slight seperation in the joints of the wood on the back of the headstock but its stable and not loose so we think its best left alone. International buyers welcome - please message for quote - Collection in person welcome.

Check out the full size pics below. A set up to your own requirement may be wanted/needed when you receive the instrument. Your item will be well packaged and boxed.

Please note the majority of the guitars/pedals/amps I sell are second hand and used. I try to describe fairly and accurately to the best of my ability however all aspects are open to interpretation. Questions are welcomed and will be answered promptly.
