Early Guitars and Vihuela

A network for historic guitars and vihuelas

I was going through some old files and came across some photos of a Stauffer style guitar I photographed sometime in the 1980's (last century when we still used film). I scanned them and posted them to my website www.scottremblayguitars.com here http://scottremblayguitars.com/gallery/restoration/ 

 

At the 12th fret there is a name etched into the pearl but the script is hard to read. Anyone make it out. On the back of the machine heads is etched "Paris" and at the 19th fret it says "1843. Check out the photos, it's a beautiful guitar, obviously made for a very wealthy patron. Sorry for the quality of the photos, the camera used was an old Trip 35 and taken in my friends front room with no flash...available light photography at it's finest ;)

Man, that looks like too much work! I'm kind of interested in bar frets. Earliwine's book from Stew-mac doesn't go into a lot of detail about it since it's out of mainstream guitar repair.

Nice work displayed on your site, Scot. I just have one question though; what is film? Is that the stuff that ran on tape recorders?    ; )
