Artikel: Conn 6M VIII Ladyface

General description : Here we have one of the pre-war 6M VIII models with serial 285674, build early 1939. The 6M VIII model was introduced early 1937 and has a slightly different neck compared to the standard 6M. Highly sought after, as these 6M´s are supposed to have the best intonation. A pristine example is hard to find these days. This one definitely has the original lacquer, with the usual wear on body and keywork. It has a unique vintage look. The Ladyface engraving is well visible.

Condition : The body is in great shape, with only one dent on the bottom bow. There are a couple of pings on the bow section, as well as a solder repair on the low Eb keyguard. All locking screws and original amber rollers are present. The Reso-pads are in good condition: no need for replacement. Neck is original (with the VIII stamp) and has a minor pulldown. Hardly noticeable, and no issue at all. The microtuner works great.
