Notes from Guy Gagnon/Luther about the guitar ;
This one came to me with half the heel missing.A fret board that was down to 3/32" with the fret extension missing. The good thing it had going for it was the Brazilian rosewood body and spruce top were intact .Only one crack on back near center strip. So I hand carved a new heel piece and made the tennon joint Bolton on and glued. I replaced the fretboard with a more modern scale of 25 7/16" . In doing so made it so the bridge had to be relocated so a hand made  oversized bridge was made and installed. The result is a sweet sounding resonate parlor guitar with big sound and sustain. The action is.090 at the twelfth fret. Intonation is close not right on but I think there is room to compensate. It has original bone button tuners. One gear has been replaced. It has .010 - .045 on it now. This Lady is the real deal! Enjoy her.

Please note that this is a very old guitar with true play ware through out. Plays wonderfully. Timeless fit, feel & sound.

Please look at all the pictures, this is the guitar you are buying.

Came from a guy in Connecticut who sold me about 6 parlor guitars that all needed resto. This is the one that I have been hanging on to. The rest are gone.
