A 1950s copy of a Roger archtop guitar, no serial number, natural finish. Owned and played by Randy Bachman, who has sold 40 million records worldwide as a member of The Guess Who, Bachman-Turner Overdrive, and as a solo artist. Part of a larger collection of archtop guitars carefully assembled over 30-plus years.

The maker of this guitar isn’t known, but it does bear a number of Roger-like features including the shape of the bound f-holes, the carve of the spruce top, and the style of block inlays on its rosewood fretboard. Multi-ply binding on the top and maple back and sides, seven-piece maple neck. Adjustable ebony bridge, chrome tailpiece, laminated white and black string guide nut with zero fret.

Includes hardshell case.
