Wish I could jump on that.

By the looks of that guitar it would be a country, or maybe a jazz guitar.

Is that right?

I don't know an awful lot about those old guiars.

Sure. Or blues or even some rockabilly too. Looks pretty! I have a Jay Turser jazzbox that is trying to be like that...but it ain't a hair on that Zenith's butt!

Definitely jazz. It will be interesting to see what it goes for, hard to find these in such good condition, and with the orig. case! Also has a nice Pro Reverb for sale, wish I could grab them both.

I know lots of folks who have bought these old guitars cuz they wanted a "vintage" instrument and these are in comparison to other makes pretty affordable. Most end up not very happy cuz these really are jazz boxes.

 

Then again, with all the FX, processors, equalizers and other nonsense out there I am not sure it really matters what guitar you buy anymore.

No doubt! I sincerely enjoy the dropped jaws when I pull out my Turser jazzbox, crank the gain and effects and sound VERY unjazzmanlike w/ that conservative looking one pickup axe. It's fun. Then I can stumble through real jazz later on in private when nobody is around to wince.
