An Oahu 69K deluxe jumbo sized acoustic, made in 1935. These were the top of the Oahu range at the time, with quality woods (spruce top and Brazilian rosewood back and sides) highly decorated with an abalone rosette, abalone body binding and a rosewood fingerboard had a vine inlay. The inlaid headstock was standard style (non-slotted).
It has been restored: professionally refretted, gears are not original but Martin butterbeans and the neck had to be reset to make it playable again. The soundboard has ladder style bracing.

Can anyone tell me the value of this guitar? It has been restored new bridge, refreted, new gears (Martin butterbeans).. There is a possibility I might part with it if the price is right. [email protected]

I don't know exactly but I've heard these deluxe Oahus with the fancy inlays are pretty desirable, could go for around $3000 or more.
