German Lute Guitar

Serial number N/A

A very playable instrument, not just a wall hanger.  This guitar is about 100 years old.  The Germans had a Folk Music fad around the turn of the century and the demand for guitars that looked like lutes was very high.  German luthiers made sure they accommodated the demand.  This is the third one of these I have restored.  When it arrived from overseas it had a cracked back and split soundboard.  I repaired both of them and brought instrument back to playing condition.  It has a very elegant scooped fret-board between the frets. The tuners, bridge, rosette and frets are all in great condition.  There is no case included in the sale and I am selling this as an antique with a limited return policy.

A quick word about our store:

I have been buying, fixing and selling guitars, banjos and mandolins on E-Bay for over 10 years.  I have a complete repair shop which is part of my retail shop "Hot Strings Guitar Shop" in Milford, CT.  A member of the Guild of American Luthiers, I also produce and sell DVDs on various aspects of guitar and banjo building and repairs. I have produced over 18 DVDs the are sold on E-Bay, Amazon dot com and by Elderly Instruments. Additionally I run a guitar building school with both day and night classes. Well aware of the frightful possibilities that crop up when purchasing a used instrument on-line, I strive to make sure any claims I may make about the instruments I sell are true and accurate. (I have bought more turkeys on e-bay than Carter has little liver pills) You can also visit my other E-Bay store, Hot Strings Guitar, and see the DVDs I produce. 

You can view my repair shop in the "About me" section.
