In the violin world, historic is everything. In guitars it isn't. At least not to anywhere near the extent copying is in violins.

I found this site of a guitar collection with some normal, but unusual today models; along with some absolutely stunning models. Scale length is all over the place. Most of the Spanish ones look very much like contemporary instruments.

They have many photos, and a rotating view of each instrument, with something about them.

Oh, I forgot. I think they have sound clips of each of them.

Hey Ken

I agree with David. Great site and it looks like hours could be spent there looking and listening.

Thanks for the link.

Great site. One of my clients, Jon Mendle, can be seen performing on their Voboam baroque guitar as well as a few other videos.

I didn't even see the book! Everyone always wants a list for Christmas and birthday/Father's Day, (sometimes the same day for me.)
