Up for sale is an exceptional classical guitar from the iconic workshop of Harald Petersen, built circa 1967. As a founding force of the post-war English school of guitar making, Petersen’s instruments were famously popularized by London's historic Spanish Guitar Centre. This model B is considered by most to be the peak of his era production.
