    I'm KEVIN, work in galway ireland.
    
    I usually read only but my curiousity got the best of me.
    
    Guitar; LEVIN (like LES PAUL)
    Fairly dated, I bought this about 8 years ago 
    Trapese tailpiece
    tone-o-matic bridge
    2 f-holes
    2 p/ups(?)
    3 way switch 
    master vol 
    seperate vols and tones for p/ups
    mahogony neck/dot inlays
    
    body has hairline crack>loss of acoustic sound
    p/ups are not original >not bad thru vox 100w
    
    Question; has anyone out there come across this name before
    as i'd be interested to find out if it's worth spending money on.

    Kevin,
    
    Levin guitars were made in Sweden and were popular in the
    1960's-1970's.  They were bought out by Martin in the 70's.
    They had a reputation of being decent quality, reasonably
    priced guitars, and were most noted for their flat-top acoustics.

    Yep... I had one of the flat tops in mid sixties. Wish I had kept it.
