    Default Just found an old guitar in a shed

    Don't know if you guys are interested, but whilst helping a friend today who's rennovating a house, I found an old looking classical guitar in the the shed. It's a "Maravilla"
    After a quick google search I can't find any information at all.

    I would guess it was a cheap student model. Is the rosette (the pattern around the sound hole) a sticker or an inlay ? Ditto teh binding, the strip around the corner of the soundboard ? If they are stickers than it's a cheapie. The neck seems to have given way at the heel so it'll need some work. Might be 60's or 70's so might be worth a few $ to someone...

    I think it is a cheap student guitar.
    The Rosette is painted on, as is the 'faux' binding.
    I think I'll have alook at re attaching the neck to the heel, the machine heads need replacing & the tail piece & bridge need some attention. Quickly string it up see how it plays before spending to much time & money on it.
    I'm Still googling to find out more information about the guitar/maker to no avail.
