Levin 12 String Acoustic

[jaycemumford]

Hi Guys,

Im new here, im a regular on a few other guitar forums.

I bought this old Levin 12 string and am going to pick it up today. Have any of you seen any others?

Levin is a Swedish company, many vintage Goya guitars from the 1950's to 70's are rebranded Levins.

Looks to be a LTS 5 either a '64' or '65' it has a non adjustable bridge so i shouldn't be newer than the 65.

The only difference is the fret dots on mine are centered not on the bass side as the catalog pic.

Thanks!

l have a levin from 1958 it has tone that makes most gibsons sound mundane . they are loud loads of tone why do you think martin bought them out . thats what big companies do they buy out there competition. l was a gibson dealer and have played all of them at one time wouldnt trade for my levin

What about all that damge,especially on the top by the neck?Appears to be collapsing from internal structual damage.
