| Comments | Here’s a J. K. Lado dreadnaught acoustic from 1975 – left handed!
Joseph Kovacic has operated the Lado guitar company for many years, and before he expanded his workshop in Uxbridge, he worked out of 920 Kingston Road, Toronto. Shortly after he left that location in 1976, The Twelfth Fret opened its doors. This is a good example of Lado instruments of that period. It’s a really nice sounding guitar! |
| Serial Number | 0026, built during 1975 and likely at 920 Kingston Road, Toronto, |
| Pricing | $750 CAD including case. |
| Neck | Mahogany neck with bound ebony fingerboard; mother of pearl position markers. |
| Frets | Original frets in good condition. |
| Body | Dreadnought body design featuring Sitka spruce top with Indian rosewood back and sides. White binding with multilayer purfling on the top. Ebony “moustache” type bridge. |
| Finish | Original gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish in good condition. |
| Hardware/electronics | Grover Roto-Matic tuners, L R Baggs pickup system installed, bone nut and saddle. The trussrod cover was engraved ‘T. A. MCMULLUEN’ for the original owner. |
| Playability/Action | This guitar has just been set up in our shop. As with many acoustics of a certain age, it is heading towards requiring a neck reset so the action is a bit higher in the upper positions. |
