George Bauer Tree of Life Natural
DESCRIPTION
Up for sale is an exceptional 1890s George Bauer “Tree of Life” Parlor in its original natural finish. This pre turn of the century parlor features a highly ornate design with top, side and back body inlays, fingerboard / headstock inlays and neck engraving. This guitar has a spruce top with beautifully figured Brazilian Rosewood back and sides, prominent V shaped neck, ebony fingerboard and bridge. This guitar has had a neck reset in its life, new bridge installed and some top and side cracks repaired. The tuners have also been replaced with a modern set of Schallers. There are no markings or information inside the body. Overall this little instrument plays fairly well until around the 13th fret at which point there are some dead notes, plink plink stuff. Very cool instrument for a 130 + years old.
