Help identifying this old Classical Guitar

Post by Norman Letendre »

This old Classical guitar came into my shop the other day. The customer asked for an estimate to repair cracked top, separation of the top and side lining, missing section of binding and several small back cracks. He wanted to know if it would be worth repairing because he wants to sell it. Does anyone know what this guitar is and/or something similar to determine relative value
Looks to be well made, European, maybe German???. Has what looks to be an adjustable neck angle adjustment key. Tuners look real old….maybe ivory keys???
I appreciate any help with this……

Also, larger sharper pictures would be a big help.
Maybe I can't fix it, but I can fix it so no one can fix it
