New Antique guitar day

StrangefanStrangefan Frets: 5820
edited July 2020 in Acoustics
I just couldn't say no I love them ancient, it was a fantastic price I was fully expecting for it to be a pup  not very playable.
I intended on spending the weekend to do a bit of a restoration but it doesn't actually need it  at all.

the neck is straight, with a genuine low action, a couple of old repairs but yea so impressed, it sounds so mellow, and feels just lovely. 


Its a Meniel and Harold parlour from about 1920 (I think) solid woods with a spruce top, 

And the icing on the cake is it has my initials engraved in the sound hole

    we have the same initials - yes something cool about such guitars - Can be great as 'wall art' if nothing else, but good luck with the restoration

     That's the great thing Mark it need no work, it honestly plays better than some of the new classicals I want pondering on buying.
