This is a guitar that I acquired recently on a trade and I am wondering what to do with it. I could try to sell it now to someone interested in Catalonian guitar history or I could restore it and then try to sell it. I really don’t have any interest in collecting guitars although I am grateful that some people do it. Collectors have kept alive guitar history for those of us who are interested in it today. The guitar does need restoration but it has been played in this state.

José Serratosa Blanch was active in Barcelona in the late 19th early 20th centuries and you can read a bit about him on these two pages. Zavaleta’s and Miguel Mateo.  According to the address on the label this guitar was made before 1906.
