Description

A gorgeous parlor from 1896 featuring Brazilian Rosewood back and sides and a Spruce top. This little guitar loves to be finger picked, but it can handle light strumming. The wide neck gives the impression of a classical guitar, but sounds like a steel string. The bridge plate is original, but the bridge has been replaced at some point. It can handle light steel strings.

Repairs include refinished lacquer, three top cracks repaired, one side crack repaired, and replaced bridge.

Includes period-correct coffin case believed to be original.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
