  • Description: Extremely rare ca 1920s Weissenborn Style B, Size 0 X braced Parlor guitar. Manufactured in Los Angeles California. An absolute original survivor! Not many of these out there and certainly not in this stunning condition. Nary a crack anywhere and the only sign of repair is a tastefully filled small strap pin hole at the heel. Very cool trademark Weissenborn "Bat Wing" bridge you could stare at all day. The 80 plus year old tight finish crazing on the flamed Koa is simply gorgeous! The comfortable V shaped neck and headstock are all Koa! This is an all original guitar sans a bone saddle in place of the original brass bar. Original Fleur-de-lis engraved tuning machines with the cream colored buttons matching the bridge pins. This X braced beauty features a deep body, 4 ¼” at the lower bout and 3 ½” at the upper bout. Action set a 5-4, suitable for Spanish finger style or lap style slide play. Nice wide 12 fret Ebony fingerboard measuring 1 7/8” at the nut. 13 1/2" wide lower bout. The sound? Remarkable. Open the high resolution photos for inspection. This stunning guitar speaks out from the 1920s and sez....play me!! New hard case. Watch the videos.
