1/2 guitar stamped "Made in Western Germany"
Greetings! I am new here.
I have got a small guitar. It is a classical guitar. It has 17 frets. It measures 29.5 inches from the very tip of the guitar to the bottom. If I include the little knob at the bottom which is meant for securing a strap, it measures 30 inches. Looking into the soundhole, I can see stamped on the back plate "Made in Western Germany". The fingerboard seems to be made of rosewood, with 4 marks made of materials that seem to be mother of pearl. I looked very closely at the top, back and the sides. The wood seem to be of the same kind. I wish I could post pictures here but I cannot. When I looked very closely at the top and the back, I could see they were built of strips of wood of about 1 inch in width as I could see joints very subtly. The joints are at the same locations in and out of the guitar. There is s decoration that covers the rim of the soundhole so I cannot look at the edge of the wood there. I am just learning to play guitar. I showed this guitar to my friend who plays a lot and he was impressed with the sound it produces. I am interested in this guitar and I welcome any information about it. Thank you!

Pictures are worth 1,000 words. If you can post a photo of your guitar, I'm sure that someone can help you.
 Btw, welcome to the forum!

Thank you Gutch!
I have taken some photos but I do not know how to post them here. I clicked on the "insert image" icon and a little window opened which said "Please enter the URL of your image." I don't know what to do from there. The photos are in my computer. Could you please help me? Thank you.

Hey James
Load those pictures in photobucket. after loaded, and below each picture you will see 4 options like this: Email & IM Direct link HTML code IMG code put your mouse over the IMG code, right click and copy, have another window and your AGF post open and ready, right click and paste in the message area. toggle back and forth between the open windows of the photobucket and your AGF post and copy/paste the IMG code of each picture you want. then post the reply. hope that makes sense and that it works for you. d Last edited by darylcrisp; 05-06-2012 at 10:48 PM.

Hi Darylcrisp, my goodness, I made it! Now, I have learnt something new!
The case in the picture is what I built for my guitar. As the guitar is smaller, I have tuned it to CFBEGC.
