Lehman & Cole 1830 Louis Panormo Replica 2018 Beeswax

This is a copy of the premier builder of guitars "in the Spanish style" in London in 1830. I had an original one in the shop a few years ago and made an accurate drawing before it went to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts for the "Dangerous Curves" exhibit. Ours is made of prime Brazilian rosewood veneers for the sides and back, just like many early guitars were constructed - both for strength and beauty. The top is a fine grained spruce finished with bees wax and polished to a luster. The neck is maple and ebonized mahogany like the original. The soundhole is surrounded with pearl and the bridge tails are inlaid. It has a fan braced top for superior overtone development, and has a carbon graphite reinforcement in the neck. The fingerboard is Brazilian rosewood and has EVO gold frets.A handmade wooden coffin style case is included. This guitar has been hand built by Bernie Lehman and Jeff Cole, and is #502.

*The neck had separated at the 12th fret during shipping, and had been repaired by Mr. Lehman.*
