In this episode of The Local Pickup, we’re talking about a guitar with rich history, the 1930s Slingerland Songster. This archtop looks and feels fantastic and is amazing to play after we put some work into it. Slingerland is best known for their drums, and originally created due to a feud between Slingerland and another popular drum maker. For 10 years, Slingerland made a huge contribution to the Great Depression music landscape with production of their acoustic guitars.
