Up for auction without reserve is a very nice1968 Vintage Giannini Acoustic Classical Guitar Model No.6 Made in Brazil with the Hard Case As you can see in the pictures the guitar is in excellent shape for its age. The label is marked "Giannini Guitars A Masterpiece in Sound Model N.o6 Serial N.o6579 9/68 Tranquillo Giannini s.a. AL. OLGA. 414 S. Paulo Brazil Made in Brazil Founded in 1900 CGC 61.196.119".
The lower bout measures 14.25" wide, the upper bout measures 11" wide and the narrowest part of the body measures about 9.25" wide with a body thickness of about 4".The neck measures 16.75" long, the headstock measures 7" with all 6 complete tuning pegs and excellent ornate finishing. The fingerboard measures 2" wide at the headstock and tapers to 2.5" wide at the sound hole. The sound hole measures 3.5" across and features very nice looking accented rings around it. Overall the guitar is in excellent shape for its age and measures 38" from end to end.There is consistent and tight crazing throughout but only adds to the great vintage look of the guitar. I haven't found any major blemishes to speak of, of course has some minor scratches around the edges consistent with a guitar that is 51 years old! There are no separations and the guitar is very solid.
The top is made of solid Amazonian spruce, the sides and back are Brazilian rosewood (harvesting has been banned in South America for several decades), the neck is solid Brazilian mahogany, the headstock is Brazilian walnut veneer over mahogany. The tuners are 12:1 ratio simulated ivory and the frets are brass.
It is missing two strings currently and it is exactly as I found it in an estate. I will include the music/books/tuner and case as well. It has been stored for quite some time but is in great overall condition waiting to be played! I am not a guitar expert, if you would like me to check something specific please let me know.
