Deconstructed James Ashborn Guitar 19th Century Parlor William Hall and Son

Description

For your consideration is a deconstructed James Ashborn no.3 guitar.  Given the amount of damage done to the instrument during its life it was deemed not restorable so I utilized the original tuners that were still installed to use on another Ashborn and thought that it might be cool to have the body cut in half to use as a teaching tool to show the internal bracings.  However, I just do not have space in my classroom or in my house.  Anyhow, someone did a pretty bad glue job inside so if someone buys this and wants to utilize it for the same reasons as me you will probably want to sand down the glue a bit.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions.
I am lightening my load a bit and will be listing several instruments and other items through the summer so check out my other listings if interested.
Thank you for looking!
