Three Vintage Acoustic Guitars
This lot comprises three vintage acoustic instruments of differing sizes and styles. The largest is a dreadnought-style guitar with a natural finish, a black pickguard, a rosewood-style fingerboard with pearl-effect markers and chrome tuners. Alongside it is a smaller parlour-style guitar with a dark fingerboard, a decorative rosette in a mosaic-style inlay and a bridge with a visible saddle. The third item is a smaller stringed instrument with a short neck and compact body, of a travel or junior format. The three pieces together offer a varied group of early and mid-century acoustic construction.
Condition and Originality
The instruments show clear signs of age and use, including surface marks, wear to the finishes and scuffing around the bodies. The parlour-style guitar displays the most noticeable wear, with its finish visibly worn in places. Original components appear to be present on each piece, though no guarantee is given as to playing condition, structural integrity or the originality of any replaced parts. Buyers should inspect the lot carefully before bidding. The group will appeal to collectors of vintage acoustic instruments, to restorers looking for projects, and to those seeking decorative pieces with period character.
