    Description

    Up for sale is a very nice sounding vintage short scale German made classical guitar with everything original. This guitar was one of the early model made by Silvetta company, probably made in 1960s, featuring 18 frets and one piece back and steel tuner rollers. It is a well played guitar and has been well taken care of. The cosmetic condition is about 8/10 scale and there is no previous repair or structure damage. The guitar has very charming old woody tone, which only can be found in those 40-50 years old guitars. There is no booming sound or punchy noise, not loud either, just clear notes. It is suitable to those player with small hands specially 12-15 years old beginner students.

    The guitar will sound louder if the action heights are raised. Since this is a youngster instrument, I think lower action is more suitable for the player.
