This nice guitar, anonym, in bad conditions, was bought by a Italian collector who brought it to us to be restored. The coat of arms on the headstock as well as the label are missing, but the authenticity is evident: Pons, Paris, circa 1825. The model, the bracings, and the material used are those preferred by the Pons brothers; the design of the bridge is by Louis David Pons. The neck was separated from the body. It had been (several times?) glued again, pieces seem to have been added, the gluing did not resist. 2 small brass splices are coming out of the block, the 12th case in spruce is broken and drowned in glue, and a large part is missing...
