This tells me it hasnвЂ™t been played very much. This guitar I believe was built for gut strings and there is no wear from strumming on the spruce top or ware spots where your arm goes over the lower bout when playing. There where no strings fitted when the guitar arrived, the bridge had been removed and there were three handmade rosewood bridge pins still with the guitar. The top, transverse brace and tail block are all made from spruce and have been chewed by something. The damage at the soundhole area and inside the box to the transverse brace looks to me like it has been caused by a rodent like a rat. The neck is a large V shape and made from mahogany. Usually these oldies the frets are well pitted especially around the first few frets. The machine heads are in good condition as are the frets with little or no ware. Also the tail block has been split as the guitar at some stage had been dropped on its butt. The guitar top has sustained lots of damage and the rosewood is very brittle with several cracks in the back and sides which I will be able to be fix or stabilise. The guitar has a spruce top and Brazilian Rosewood back, sides, bridge, head plate and fingerboard.

If someone knows or can point me in the right direction of further information about the guitar please contact me through my website.

It has a serial number stamped on the spruce tail block however even with that information I havenвЂ™t been able to ascertain its exact age. The old guitar is very fragile but it is in reasonable condition for its age. If you are interested in the restoration project please read on. If you have any comments or questions please contact me here or on my website. The plan is to scale but there may be some dimensions that are not perfect as there were a few specs that had to be estimated.

Please feel free to download the plan as I have gained so much great advice and information from this forum since I started guitar building in 2005 and it is good to be able to contribute a bit back to our guitar building community. I thank him very much for his time an effort.

A friend and forum member Steve here at the anzlf used my hand written drawing and created a full size to scale plan using CAD. As most of you know it is not very often you get the opportunity to get close up and personal with such an old instrument like this one so I decided to create a plan of it. I spent considerable time carefully taking dimensions and drew up a hand written plan of the guitar. As a new top will be fitted once the old one was removed I was able to take some measurements inside the box. This guitar is a restoration project and the top was damaged beyond repair.
