Here is a gorgeous example of a King Super 20 tenor from 1946 that has a full overhaul and very low miles on it. This comes to you from a private collection and looks like it was never played after being overhauled. The lacquer is original and dark honey gold. It's unusual to see a King from 1946 in anything like this kind of condition. This one was one owner in a closet, and then got overhauled and put in the closet of a collector, and now it's being sold again to start a new life. It's almost as close as I can imagine to buying a new King, as it can't have had more than a year or two of playing time ever. There's some light scratching next to the three ring strap hook, and that's about it for cosmetic wear. The only minor issue I note on this horn is that the neck had the serial number section removed and replaced by a fresh piece of brass, making me think the neck must not be original to the horn. It's the correct neck for this vintage and plays well, and it's solid silver and shows no signs of past damage. So all in all, a clean, beautiful, powerful vintage King tenor with full pearls in exceedingly nice condition with only the neck serial missing to save you a thousand dollars or more off the price. If you want a gorgeous king for a good price that has already been overhauled and should be easy to own and play, that's this. The original case is incredibly well preserved also.
