Vintage guitars for sale: Gloucester

This is a beautiful pre-war archtop that I understand to have been made in the are of Schönbach / Luby before the second world war.

This example is well used and worn, but has the original paint and french varnish on, has a solid soundboard carved from Spruce, back and sides are understood to be solid maple, and the ... more
