Knutsen Hawaiian Guitar HW10

The owner states: "When I got it it had a pickguard that ended up falling off revealing this weird circle cut indent. I believe that there was once a round pickguard sunk into the top - which came off at some point and a big flat one was put over the top. I know that it was sunk into the top because the sound hole inlay is cut into.
"Awesome instrument. I keep it slack when I'm not playing it. Sounds great acoustic and with a Sunrise pick up amplified. Online you can hear this instrument at: http://www.mp3.com/brettlovins
"It is the tune "Tweedy's Wedding." The Knutsen is holding down the lead instrument as well the bass. There are 3 other tracks of guitar on this tune."
