GG122, European circa 1920

Posted by Roger Häggström on June 30, 2018, 7:04 pm

In recent weeks, I have worked hard, but mostly with minor repairs that have come in locally or those that have been piled up. Still has some of these to handle, but works in parallel with several GammelGura as well. Sometimes they get ready 🙂 This copy was a very typical import guitar from Europe and about 1920. I…

"Restomod"

Posted by Roger Häggström on June 15, 2018, 11:33 pm

GG128 “Gibson” Levin 1942, model 47

Posted by Roger Häggström on June 10, 2018, 3:34 pm

Have seen such big Levin before but avoided them as I could not handle the stable aesthetically (or the curved head). This is an early guitar from 1942. It was used extensively in religious contexts and people had not been afraid of it, the sides had many and long repaired cracks. Part of the lid had…

GG120 Croatian parlor from the 1930s

Posted by Roger Häggström on June 2, 2018, 11:01 pm

This was a different renovation. Partly due to the fact that the guitar was manufactured in the 1930s in the city of Sisak in Croatia. That I know it is a coincidence, 80% of the label was gone but on a small chip I could read "Sisak" in small letters. The "Vardian" that was in large letters on the label did not give much,…
