Vintage Italian Classical Guitar – c. 1930–1950 – Sicilian Works - SOLD AS-IS

This is a vintage Italian classical guitar, likely originating from a Sicilian workshop (possibly Miroglio, Silvestri, or a related regional maker). The instrument shows several features typical of Southern-Italian workshop guitars from the early–mid 20th century, including the traditional inlaid multi-ring rosette, lightly built spruce top, and a neck with a decorative central strip.

The guitar is being sold as a restoration project. It has cracks, wear and structural issues — please review all photographs carefully. No label is present, but the craftsmanship and materials are consistent with Italian workshop production from approximately the 1930s–1950s.

This would be a suitable instrument for a luthier, restorer, or collector looking for a vintage project.
