Gurian, Michael / Michael Gurian Classical Brazilian Rosewood Spruce / 1968 / Guitar

We are very honored to put on offer this stunning vintage Classical concert guitar made in 1968 by the hands of famous Michael Gurian. The instrument bears number #19. In the 1960s Michael Gurian was a young apprentice guitar builder located in Greenwich Village, and he learned the trade from nowaday famous and renowned builders like Gene Clark, David Rubio and Manuel Velazquez. Imagine what we talk about here. This is one of the rarest most exquisite American made Luthiers of the last century and this extremely rare instrument truly reflects the attention to detail and standards he was taught, the intricate, understated details and the overall finish is almost unreal. It features a set of dark and finely figured Brazilian rosewood for the back and sides, paired to a spruce top. The comfortable neck has been crafted out of Mexican mahogany which has been fitted with a dark ebony fretboard. The square ebony bridge shows lovely pearl and ivoroid detailing. Finally the headstock still has the original engraved tuners with bone buttons, and a Brazilian Rosewood headstock overlay.  Soundwise this guitar can compete with the best of them; a full bodied and very direct character with warm and overwhelming lows, powerful mids and a high end which can go from almost stinging to subtle bellike and round at the mercy of your fingertips. Equally impressive is the condition this guitar is in, it's hard to believe this instrument was constructed nearly 50 years ago. Save for some light weatherchecking and signs of use it can look almost brand new. Michael Gurian is no longer in the classical guitar making business, but the instruments he made in the 1960-70s are sought after by the connaisseurs, as rare as they are. Includes original Ess & Ess hardshell case with yellow lining. 650mm scale, 52mm nut width. With CITES permit

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
