Knutsen Harp Guitar
This plain specimen has no soundhole binding, but it the owner was told that the top was possibly replaced - and perhaps the back also - which would explain the rough appearance. It has the transitional period rare "heel bulge" - almost certainly a Knutsen-built feature. This feature matches the timeframe for the label also. Tailpiece is non-original.
