Members chancey77 Posted January 27, 2013 Members Report Posted January 27, 2013 (edited) This was Carved by Nicholas Harichy in the 1950s...just some leather Guitar History for ya to look at:) It is said that the pin up is supposed to be of Conway's First wife. This guitar was just auctioned at Heritage Auctions this last November. This is one of my favorite pieces of leather guitar history and as you can see it was heavily played by Conway through the 1970s the patina is just great! Edited January 27, 2013 by chancey77 Quote
