Otwin REGENT 1955 Brown burst Two Tone

This is a rare all solid 1950s Otwin Regent Made by the Otto Windisch instrument manufacturer in East German. Otwin produced excellent guitars of fine quality,  based on many years of string instrument production in Saxony.  This is a superb all solid guitar with carved spruce top and carved maple back. It was one of their top models and has a tone bar running along the centre of the backplate, allowing for a lightweight construction with maximum stability and resonance. The bridge and all other hardware are original. The design of the guitar could be 1930s, though hardware is East German post war. This is a high end Otwin. Excellent player with balanced warm tone. An outstanding guitar that easily compares with high end US guitars.
