A description of the series from the Builder

This is a fan-braced guitar, much more traditional in design. The sound is clear and bell-like with a singing treble. The volume is less than the GC guitars and they are less full sounding. However, some of my customers prefer them. Historically, my Series II guitars have been very different from one another because it is a line of development beginning with the Series One. The early ones are extremely bright and the most recent are much freer and more bass-rich, whilst retaining a clear treble.

This guitar was owned by Arne Brattland, the Norwegian classical Guitarist.

It is heavily discounted as there has been damage to the lower bout portion of the soundboard in it’s history. The guitar has been professionally repaired by John Le Voi. There are photos in the listing of the area mentioned and the repair.

The guitar has clearly been heavily used and the finish has signs of wear in several areas.
