Wolfram The Triumph Metal Fret Board Slotted Headstock 12 Fret Parlor 1890s 1900s 1910s

Exceedingly rare old world guitar. Made in Ohio by Wolfram. Features a wood neck with a completely metal fretboard. Not sure of the wood its constructed with. Very little info of these online.

Its currently strung up with high tension nylon and sounds wonderful. I did have extra light steel strings on it for a second but decided I liked the nylon sound better. That being said there is some fret buzzing in the middle of the fret board. I dont remember getting that with steel strings. Ive seen them in previous listings with steel strings on.

Looks to retain original bridge. The body has most likely been refinished. Lots of cracks that are repaired. Pretty typical for a 100+ year old piece of wood. Tuners look old and work well but may not be original. Some bracing inside looks changed. Its ladder braced. One open crack where rosette meets fretboard.

Really cool guitar and a great piece for a collection. I have included a demo embedded into the listing of the guitar in action. This includes an old, but unoriginal hard case in fair condition. Ships fully insured and packaged with care.
