John Church Pre 1900's Imperial Geiger Parlour Guitar.

A John Church imperial guitar from the 19th century with geiger bridge and medalion on the headstock front.

I believe this was changed from back in 1895.

When i aquired this guitar, it had some issues. I took it to a professional luthier and had some work done.

An image is included of the receipt with work done at a cost of £450.

This guitar plays brilliantly and sounds exceptional for a guitar of this age.
