Hemosch Erich Dölling – RARE 1950s Master Luthier GDR East German Archtop Migma Jazz Guitar

This is a stunning split soundhole guitar crafted by Erich Dölling, a renowned luthier from Siebrunn. He was part of a long tradition of East German guitar and instrument making. During the 1950s and 60s, Dölling was one of the many luthiers producing exceptional archtop and jazz guitars, contributing to the golden age of German guitarmaking. He sold his guitars through various instrument shops, and this particular piece was sold by HEMOSCH. It truly is a beautiful work of art.

This guitar features fully solid woods, an integrated, fully functioning pickup, and the distinctive German carve with a double soundhole. It is undoubtedly a high-quality instrument!

The guitar is in really good condition for its age with only very little wear, as you can see in the pictures. The tuners turn smoothly and hold the string tension well. The guitar sounds really full and well and is perfect for the blues and jazz music of the 50s and 60s. The guitar plays very comfortably too because of the low action and the straight neck. The frets where polished, the fretboard got oiled and the strings are new too!

The guitar can be played immediatly.

If you have any questions left, or if you need more pictures, feel free to ask :-)

I ship worldwide with DHL and with the DHL-shipping insurance wich goes up to 500€. I am not going to lie to you or blandish a possible transport risk like some other people do. International shipping can be dangerous and packages are sometimes treated roughly. If you however choose to have an international shipment, I will do my absolute best to protect the guitar. I have collected a lot of experience in the past on how to ship a guitar securely. I will take photos of the packaging and the exact condition of the guitar right before I ship it. You should know, that after shipping the guitar and entering the shipping number, I am not responsible for anything anymore and myjob is done. But I will gladly back you up with the insurance case with said photos and exact details in the rare case anything goes wrong. The standart insurance I ship all guitars with is up to 500€. If you want a higher insurance, you can get that, just ask me first.
