This is a "Monogram" SS Stewart, made in the years just after Stewart died and George Bauer took over the business. It's in great shape, with a hybrid V/C neck shape, a few replacement hooks, the original skin head and tailpiece (although missing the ivory) and a lovely brazillian rosewood fretboard and headsstock overlay. Some pegs are replacements, and it does great with light guage steel or nylon strings. Sold!
