    Description

    There is no brand or label but this parlor guitar is very possibly a Lyon & Healy - Lakeside or Columbia grade - or Regal from the late 1920s.
    Unlike most parlor guitars of that period, this one features oak back and sides—very pretty. With spruce top, metal tailpiece. Quite loud.
    Typical of these older models, the action is a bit high: 1/8” at first fret, 1/4” at seventh fret, 3/8” twelfth fret.
    In all, this is an interesting little guitar—in good shape after almost a century, barks quite loud, fine American craftsmanship.
    Comes with original case. Set up as a Hawaiian guitar with a vintage nut riser.
