Brazilian Rosewood / Parlour Guitar / 1920 / Natural / Guitar
|
This is a real treat, a 1920's parlour guitar made with Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. It has no makers name, which is why it's priced under £1000 but is in the style of a Martin, George Washburn or Lyon and Healy. The bound fingerboard is Ebony and the pyramid bridge is also Brazilian Rosewood. The first thing you notice is the surprising volume this small guitar produces - really impressive, then theres the resonance that hits you in the stomach, and to round things off is the great feel of the neck, the responsiveness of the Ebony fingerboard and the ease of playability. This would make a great studio guitar, or the ultimate travel guitar, and either way a fantastic addition to any collection. It's in good condition for a guitar that's nearly 100 years old, it has a tightly repaired back crack, and some missing body binding. The guitar comes in a snug fitting hard case.
Glenns Guitars, UK 
Welcome to Glenn's Guitars here on Vintage & Rare. After many years in the industry, and having been fortunate enough to have worked in Hanks and The Acoustic Centre - probably London's two foremost acoustic guitar shops - I decided to do my own thing.
I have a passion for used and vintage acoustic guitars; nearly new second hand guitars because they can represent a bargain compared to the price of a new guitar, older and vintage guitars because they tend to have more character and can often become an investment.
You will notice when viewing my stock list my taste in guitars, as I only sell guitars that I genuinely like - and there are certain brands noticeable by their absence. I am a huge fan of older Gibson, Martin and Guild acoustics, but also more boutique brands such as Lowden and Collings.
I will consider part exchange if it makes your desired guitar a little easier to afford. I also offer a guitar finding service, if there's something specific you're looking for.
If you are happy to buy over the internet, I will send you as many high resolution photos and as much information about the guitar you're interested in as I can. If you can get to me - I'm based in Enfield, only 30 minutes from London Liverpool Street Station - you can always make an appointment with me and come and try some of the guitars out first.
I accept payment by Paypal, bank transfer, cheque and of course cash.
