Nice vintage guitar built by master builder Anton Lorbeer, 1950s, Germany. 
He has worked for, amongst others, Rossmeisl /Roger, Migma, Musima. He was responsible for the production of the archtop guitars of the top brand Roger (jazz guitar/archtop). Connoisseurs recognise the Roger as the Rolls-Royce among the vintage archtop guitars.
He also made archtop guitars in the same style as at Roger’s and of comparable quality at Musima. 
Lorbeer also built guitars under his own brand, ‘Harmonie’, at Musima, amongst others, archtop and western guitars of very good quality. 
This ‘Harmonie’ is also of good quality and has a surprisingly good, full sound. 

- Massive German spruce top. 
- Stained back and side. 
- Nice (vintage) binding (Herringbone) around top and sound hole. 
- Stained maple neck. 
- Polished frets. 
- Massive rosewood bridge. 
- Rosewood fretboard with dot inlays. 
- Easy playable neck and very low action strings. 
- New set sil & steel strings Martin. 
- Original closed vintage tuners with black knobs. 

The guitar has a wonderful, nice, full sound with a long sustain. 
It is in good, vintage condition. Of course with the usual relic traces like dryness effect, crackle etc. Though that is also the charm of an old instrument. Without any structural problems. 

Insured (up to €500) and registered shipping.
