1890s Joseph Bohmann Harp Guitar - Acoustic Flat Top Guitar
Needs restoration.
6 string guitar neck plus 12 string harp guitar
Super elaborate headstock on the harp neck.
Not 100% sure on the year, made after 1895 since the labelshows an award from that year.
This is sold as-is.It needs parts and some restoration to get it going.
Here is what I see
Looks like Brazilian rosewood back and sides but I am nottotally sure what he used, but it looks like it.
The top has several cracks that appear to be fixed. I see afew cleats on the inside of the top
There are no tuners on the 6 string side so that will needto be addressed.
It has 6 sympathetic rods that run under the strings. Itlooks like one of the rods is missing, so there are only 5 right now.
I have no additional parts. What you see in the pictures iseverything.
