What guitar is this?
Good evening,
I've just bought for few cents this guitar. Seems to be interesting for me - kind of romantic.
90,50 cm long. But has anyone idea what can it be? XIX?
All the best!

It's German, c.1880-1900 made to imitate an American (Martin) guitar.

How do you know its German? I don't mean I doubt you at all, I just would like to know if there is some kind of clear giveaway that says "german."

Actually this guitar is in luthier now. Very good one - with huge knowledge about old instruments (specially italian XVII-XVIII violin).
He said that this guitar is southern french or lombardian according to woods (southern Alpes).
I dunno if thats correct, but he said that in his opinion is not german or czech... Anyway - it was a bargain for 50 euros... ;) - Attachments:
