Deconstructed James Ashborn Guitar 19th Century Parlor William Hall and Son

Description

For your consideration is a deconstructed James Ashborn no.3 guitar.  Given the amount of damage done to the instrument during its life it was deemed not restorable so I utilized the original tuners that were still installed to use on another Ashborn and thought that it might be cool to have the body cut in half to use as a teaching tool to show the internal bracings.  However, I just do not have space in my classroom or in my house.  Anyhow, someone did a pretty bad glue job inside so if someone buys this and wants to utilize it for the same reasons as me you will probably want to sand down the glue a bit.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
I am lightening my load a bit and will be listing several instruments and other items through the summer so check out my other listings if interested.
Thank you for looking!
BRAND NEW! This Maccaferri G-30 Plastic Guitar has not seen the light of day in 30 years. I bought three two packs from Martin Telemarketing in 1991 and stashed one box full. Now it's time to move one guitar along; I'll keep one. I tuned this one up to make sure everything worked and it played well. Actually, the tone is surprisingly good, even with the original old strings. It came packed with a strap (cord) and the hang tag. That is a little surface 'marking' on the back treble side that probably could be polished out. I will pack it with the original single piece plastic bag and cardboard insert in a new larger box.I have more pictures of the "Grand Opening" of the master carton if you desire.
