Antique Home Made Acoustic Guitar Primitive Folk Art 30s Delta Hobo Vtg Decor:
$235.00

For your consideration is a one of a kind antique acoustic guitar. Primitive homemade folk art that to my eye looks like it was crafted in the 1930\'s. Extremely naive in its construction, the guitar reminds me of something out of a Picasso. I believe all components of this guitar to be original to construction. Whichever route you take, this guitar tells quite a story - Hobo, Delta, Hillbilly scrap guitar, etc. A very nice piece for Folk Art, Primitives, Delta Blues, Guitar collections.


Details:


- I believe this guitar to have been made in the 30\'s, but it\'s difficult to say. All hardware - screws, nails, strings, tuners, etc look period to me.

- Very crude bridge, nut, frets, headstock, etc.

- Not sure what kind of wood used for neck, naive bracing, and other components. Pine? Neck is pretty course, not smooth.

- Top and Back of guitar appear to made of what looks like wood wall paneling or something. Vertical grooves as pictured. A beautiful patina. Not sure if this is wood or some type of old wood composite.

- Top two tuning heads have crumbled off. D and high E strings loose.

- Action: 1 cm at 12th fret. Not in playing condition.

- All I know about this guitar\'s provenance is that it came from an antique dealer in Delaware.


Large & awkward skinny hourglass form:

- 44 3/4 Inches Long

-11 3/4 Inches at widest across

- Just under 8 Inches at thinnest across

- Galvanized sides 3 3/8 Inches

- Guitar dimensions clearly not uniform, relative measurements.
