All examples showing in good to very good vintage condition.
The Swinger by Kingston example is missing its tremolo bar as well as the right base dot. The Del Ray example shows attractive vertical cracking in the body finish, however it shows advanced cracking in the headstock finish. The Silvertone example has the bottom part of its pickguard chipped off, allowing the pickguard to pull away when a cable is being pulled out of the jack. The neck pickup of the Silvertone is not operating while the bridge pickup is, slight crackling generally. Electronics on the Swinger are in fair condition with poor jack condition and crackling. Electronics of the Airline are in good working condition. Electronics of the Del Ray example are in fine working condition with some crackling when shifting pickups that is to be expected with vintage condition. One sold with tweed case, one sold with hard case, and one with a soft case and strap.
Collection includes one Airline Big Horn, one Kingston Swinger, one Del Ray Model EV-2T and one Danelectro.
