Carmelo Catania (approx 1940-50s), rare, hand-built in Sicily. Italy
Description : 07 Aug, 2023
Sale only please.
One for the collectors or lovers of the vintage vibe. A very rare and veeery cool parlour guitar, handbuilt in Sicily in the small workshop of Carmelo Catania, one of many independent builders in the region at the time. Information is not ripe on these guitars, whilst the inside label e off the identity of this guitar is certain given the unique nature of its build and artwork.
As for age, I have found identical examples from the 1920s and 30s and so the suggested decades of manufacture are a cautious estimate. For its age, it is a well-kept guitar which shows wear and use, but no cosmetic or structural incidents.
Playing-wise, the action is good and intonation also, the frets have life in them despite them looking like they may be the originals. It is a guitar for playing as well as a guitar for looking after with care. hence the included TGI hardcase.
Collection in Leicester preferred, or if absolutely necessary, shipping organised and covered by buyer. This will be at your own responsibility. Thanks for looking, check my other ads, some good stuff going.
