Otwin Sonor Jazz Guitar

Otwin Sonor jazz guitar made in East Germany, most likely in the late 1950s.

A fairly rare model, especially in this condition. Its design is truly distinctive, featuring the characteristic "cat's eye" f-holes commonly found on German archtop guitars of the period.

The guitar has recently been professionally serviced by a luthier:

  • Straight neck
  • Low action
  • Excellent playability
  • Ready to play

The solid spruce top is free from cracks or damage, and the guitar has a rich, resonant acoustic tone.

All tuning machines are original and function properly.
It is fitted with a vintage floating "Ideal" pickup featuring a thumbwheel volume control.

Specifications:

  • 21 frets, with 14 frets clear of the body
  • Floating pickup
  • Original hardware
  • Made in East Germany

A truly unique and characterful instrument with a warm, vintage sound.

Ideal for jazz, swing, blues, or simply for collectors and enthusiasts of vintage European guitars.

A soft gig bag or hard case can be provided at an additional cost.
