I managed to pick up a beautiful Levin for 100 GBP back in the late 70's from a friend who got it in Sweden in the late 60's. I think its a Goliath .. Thanks to a google search I now have access to the production dates and I will be able to date it properly and with this thread I also have access to info about the company itself.

I have always thought it was amongst the best sounding acoustics I have heard. It is fantastically melodic on the high end and has a good punchy base tone. The only thing I find a problem with it is the very narrow neck ... personnally i like a bit more space especially when I fingerpick. I am currently playing an Ovation Elite Special which also has a beatiful sound but something about the Levin sound and quality finish makes it a really special instrument. I constantly go back to it and would never part with it .....:-)
