Just arrived a 1933 Vivi-tone Acoustic-Electric Guitar! ⠀ ⠀ This extremely rare Vivi-Tone guitar is a fascinating example of Lloyd Loar and partner Lewis A. Williams' pioneering efforts in the creation of electric fretted instruments in the early 1930's. The design is utterly unique, as well as being one of the earliest electric Spanish-style guitars ever commercially made. The Vivi-Tones were predated only by the lost Stromberg-Voisinet electrics that are virtually unknown, and the very earliest Rickenbacker Electro models. ⠀ ⠀ ⠀ #guitarporn #guitarlove #ギター #guitar #guitare #guitarra #gitarr #gitarre #gitarren #guitarsofinstagram #retrofret #brooklyn #vintageguitars #vintageguitar #retrofretvintageguitars #gowanus #chitarra #gitar #기타 #lloydloar #vivitone #acousticelectric #electricspanish #earlyelectricguitar (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars)

Happy Birthday Lloyd Loar! Here is a body photo of a Vivi-tone electric guitar made circa 1933. Vivi-tone was a company that he co-founded after he left Gibson. This guitar featured f holes on its back. #guitarlove #guitarporn #retrofretvintageguitars #vivitone #guitarra #lloydloar (at Retrofret Vintage Guitars)
