Spanish Acoustic Guitar by M.G. Contreras, Madrid
This lot is a Spanish acoustic guitar bearing the label of M.G. Contreras, a guitar workshop based at Calle Mayor 89, Madrid 13. The instrument is offered together with its hard case, which is presented as part of the lot.
The guitar has a warm, amber-toned top and a round soundhole surrounded by a decorative marquetry-style rosette in green, red and brown tones. The neck carries a dark fingerboard with light-coloured fret markers, and the headstock is fitted with six tuners. Inside the soundhole, a paper label reads “Guitarreria M.G. Contreras, Guitarras Clasico, Flamenco y Estudio, Bandurrias y Laudes, Calle Mayor 89, Madrid 13, Made in Spain”. The hard case has a grey textured exterior, a red interior lining and brass-coloured latches.
Condition, Originality and Collector Interest
The guitar is sold as pictured and is not described as complete or in playing order, and no structural or functional condition is guaranteed. The original Contreras label remains visible inside the soundhole, and the hard case is supplied with its red lining and latches. Interested bidders are encouraged to examine the lot carefully or make enquiries before bidding. The printed Madrid workshop details and “Made in Spain” marking may appeal to collectors of Spanish guitars and to players seeking a traditional guitar with a documented maker’s label.
