Once an early Hawaiian stencil guitar, this 0-size, 12-fret resembles the look, feel and tone of its close cousin, the First Hawaiian model made in OS’s New Jersey factory during the 1930s. With rebuilt features to meet modern standards, this guitar plays and sounds as good as it looks. Amazing value for the money.
