7 Guitars from 1910-1987
Offered at $206,000
$266,000 if purchased individually
The Collection’s guitars are assigned to one of three tiers. Tier 1 guitars are most collectable, Tier 2 guitars are less so than Tier 1, and Tier 3 guitars less so than Tier 2 instruments. Collections are often “top-heavy” with fine Tier I guitars because of the great pride of ownership they immediately provide.
The Tier 2 Classical Collection Builder Specialty Group provides an easy and very economical path to add interest, depth, value, and more music to collections. The guitars in the Tier 2 and Tier 3 Classical Collection Builder Specialty Groups are solid choices. Limited substitutions and/or additions are allowed to “fine-tune” and to avoid duplications. Their very special pricing during this sale should be motivation enough, but please remember that even Tier 2 and 3 guitars are scarce. These offerings are, likely, the best prices ever for anything like these splendid and highly collectable groups.
