1974 LoPrinzi Classical Natural

Offered for sale;

Used 1974 LoPrinzi Classical Guitar serial number 1943.

This guitar is in very good condition, there is a small crack in the top on the treble side upper bout, about a 1/2" from the fretboard that has been repaired. This guitar shows limited playing time. Overall quite nice.

Augustino LoPrinzi began the legacy as a barber, after little success learning to play instruments, he began disassembling and reassembling instruments learning how they were put together. At one point he was getting more and more work for repairs and building guitars than cutting hair. So, after barbering for 22 years, he quit. It was 1969. Everyone thought he was crazy, but his wife, parents and brothers had faith in him. By 1972 he and his brother, Thomas, founded the LoPrinzi Guitar Company in New Jersey. They started to sell stock in the company and soon had a successful business going with 17 employees. The rest of the story is interesting including selling the company to a large corporation and starting over again.

This is an interesting guitar that sounds quite good and is not an everyday find. Perfect for the intermediate classical player of a pro on a budget.

Hard shell case included.
