An interesting late 19th century instrument, this Columbus parlor guitar has a spruce top, (possibly) maple back and sides, and a 12-fret V-profile neck. The fingerboard and bridge are Brazilian rosewood. This instrument would need a lot of work to get back into real playing shape (sold AS-IS, see Details section below), but otherwise it’s in good condition.
