From the owner: Very
structurally sound having been repaired by Beverly Maher's repair person
in NYC. There is a repaired crack in the back, you can see some
discoloration where the repairman failed to match the original varnish
when doing the repair. This was done in Rochester, NY in 1979, but was
verified as solid in NY two years ago.
There was also some
separation of the center of the top and two parallel cracks, one above
and one below the bridge, both repaired in the late 70's but addressed
in NY.
The neck was also checked and reset in NY and there is a very small
crack in the top that was repaired at that time.
There are a few small marks in the lacquer on the top and one larger
ding on the lower bout on the left (facing the guitar.)
The upside is it has
Brazilian rosewood back and sides, very tight grained, a German spruce
top, original tuners, mahogany neck and only the tiniest bit of wear in
the fingerboard at the first fret. It is an extremely light guitar.
When you lift it, it's the sensation you get lifting a violin, that
something this size should weigh more. And it sounds great and, of
course, it is a
1956 Velaquez, a rare vintage guitar.
From me: Being familiar
with this class of guitar and having played 50's vintage Velazquez and
other fine makers of this genre, you are immediately impressed with the
sound and resonance of these extremely light instruments. The
basses are absolutely killer...low, vibratory, almost menacing, while
the trebles have the voices of angels. Very few makers of today's
age understand the principles behind these light, musically powerful,
violin-ish type instruments.
This instrument is on
consignment to me, where all reasonable and serious offers will be
presented to the owner. I will facilitate communications, payment
and delivery (personally if need be). |
