I got too good a deal on this antique eBay guitar...only $200 Canadian for a c1900 Italian made Brazilian Rosewood parlour guitar. The box was suspiciously just a hair over 3lbs, less than most modern guitars weigh by themselves and the mailman let me know that I could refuse delivery if I wanted. After giving the box a few shakes and shimmies it became apparent that SOMETHING was in there.
Once I opened the box I was overjoyed to see a beautiful, if somewhat decrepit Mario Casella Parlour Guitar made in Catania, Italy around the year 1900. The bridge was falling off and cracked in half, a chunk of the fretboard was missing and there were a plethora of cracks on the rosewood back. follow along as I tackle these issues...and possibly create some issues of my own!
