This is a very fancy, early parlor guitar approximately the size of a Martin Style 1 with Brazilian rosewood back and sides. The spruce top trimmed with a wide border of pink pearl and marquetry. The 12 fret mahogany neck features a solid, mother of pearl fingerboard that is engraved with a tree of life pattern. The bridge is a pyramid style with flattened ends with engraved pearl. The guitar is X braced. This is still a museum quality instrument which plays nicely with light steel strings.
