For Sale

This is a copy of a guitar originally made in Vienna in 1861 by J.G. Scherzer, one of Stauffer’s star apprentices. The guitar has a double adjustable neck and features a double back to prevent the player damping the guitar’s body. It is made with a German spruce top, figured maple back and sides and a neck veneered in ebony.
The instrument is in the south of Germany. Questions welcome.
