Antique 19th Century German American Panormo Parlour Romantic Acoustic Guitar

Antique 19th Century German American Panormo Parlour Romantic Acoustic Guitar

This is the nicest antique guitar I’ve ever handled, and it’s just returned from an incredible luthier who reset the neck and sturdied the cracks to the birdseye back, making it an incredibly good playing guitar. A truly beautiful late 19th century Panormo style guitar, made in Germany or America (circa 1890 at a guess). The build quality is superior to anything I’ve seen of the age, especially with those inlays and the figured back. Speaking to a specialist on these types of guitars, he noted that it had both English features (body shape) and German features (inlays, bridge and internals), but also a possibility that it could have been made in the USA by a German immigrant – a very interesting guitar indeed.

It plays like a dream, with a lovely neck profile making it easy to play. The moustache style bridge and the inlays are a real feature. There are two slight hairlines to the back (pictured) but these are structurally sound. The guitar comes with some pretty cool history / strings / strap too. It’s a truly wonderful guitar that you will not be disappointed with and it’s clearly been well looked after. Please have a close look at the high resolution photographs below, as these form part of our description.

We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.

It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.
