About This Listing

This is a very interesting guitar labeled: L.VIOHL/MANUFACTURER/FLUSHING, has an arched mahogany back and sides and an unbound spruce top with inlaid mahogany rosette rings. There are twelve brass frets to the body and eighteen total. It has a rosewood fingerboard, a pyramid bridge. The neck is mahogany and there are three-in-line open tuners on brass plates stamped with leaves and with bone tuner knobs on the slotted head. Measurements: 13-1/2″ body.  These guitars were made in the 1890's.  

Obvious wear on the front (it's 150 years old!) The wood and lacquer are very... can I use the word "rustic"?  
Action is a little naturally high, probably great for slide playing.  I had the peg board replaced so the bridge is sturdy and the instrument is ready for picking. 

Item is sold AS IS and returns will not be accepted.  I have done my best to describe this relic of a guitar and it is in playable condition.  Please contact me with any questions.  
Case not included.
