Description from the seller
Valuable, wonderfully ornate, historical guitar with the label "Salvador Ibáñez".
"Salvador Ibáñez (1854-1920) was a Spanish luthier. He built all kinds of string instruments. These instruments were regarded as the best of their time and are valued for their superb quality and flawless craftsmanship.
At the age of eleven, Ibáñez became an apprentice in guitar making on Calle Muela Valencia.
In 1870 he founded his own company: Salvador Ibáñez y Albiñara. The company was registered on Calle Cubells. In his shop worked ten-year-old José Ibáñez and Magdalena Albiñara y Magraner from Ollería, Valencia. In 1896 he first appears in trade guides on Calle Ruzafa Valencia and from 1898 to 1906 his shop was located on Calle Bajada de San Francisco. Salvador Ibáñez produced bandurrias, lutes, six- and nine-string guitars, as well as guitars with detachable necks.
In 1897 he built the world’s first double-neck guitar. Between 1915 and 1920, Salvador Ibáñez e Hijos (Salvador Ibáñez and Sons) were on Calle Bajada de San Francisco and on Calle Padre Rico Valencia.
When he died in 1920, the workshop was continued by his two sons until it was sold in 1933 to Telesforo Julve. Julve bought the name Salvador Ibanez, the staff and the machines and integrated them into his own company.
Julian Bream played a Salvador Ibáñez guitar. Eric Clapton owned several original Salvador-Ibáñez guitars, one of which achieved a final price of $42,000 at a charity auction in 1999."

The guitar features a spruce top and rosewood sides and back. The finish is shellac, which has been refreshed. The tuning hardware is newer but period-correct and functions flawlessly.
