Gregory Byers Classical Guitar, 1986, No. 19

Handmade concert classical guitar by Gregory Byers 1986 (Tucson, Arizona). Spruce top with rosewood back and sides and a French-polished finish.

• Scale length: 655 mm
• Nut width: 53.5 mm
• String spacing: 42.5 mm
• Compensated nut

I am the second owner, having purchased the guitar around 2008 from a university friend and fellow classical guitarist. Both owners trained as classical guitarists, and it has been used as a professional concert instrument.

Around 2014, I returned the guitar to Gregory Byers for refinishing and repair of a short crack along the grain of the soundboard. At the same time, he replaced the original pin bridge with a standard tie bridge. The guitar has been played relatively little since this work.

In very good overall condition, with cosmetic wear including playing marks, surface scratches, dings and some small chips in the finish on the back. Please see the detailed photographs for the cosmetic condition.
