Otwin Sonor – 1950s German Vintage Parlor Archtop Jazz Guitar / Gitarre

This is the model "Sonor" by the Otwin. Otto Windisch founded the luthier company "Otwin" in 1903 and built a lot of high quality Instruments in Schöneck, Germany. In 1935, Windisch died and left the company to his son Johannes, who was also a master tier luthier. Otwin was worldwide known for their distinctive models and amazing sounds in their instruments.

The guitar is in really good condition 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 :-)

About shipping:

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 my job 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. Some countrys outside of the EU also have import taxes, be aware of that. Please note, that international shipping can sometimes take very long, on average 2 weeks for EU shipping and 1 month for intercontinental shipping, but it can take up to 3 times that time in some very rare cases.

Legal:

Taxation after UStG §25a. I usually take back everything you buy from me within 14 days after the arrival of the package. The conditions are, that everything is in the original condition I shipped it in and the shipping costs are carryed by the buyer.
