1930s Richter Hawaiian Stencil Acoustic Parlor Guitar

Description

This guitar has an all-solid-birch body, ladder-bracing, a poplar neck, and ebonized (perhaps maple or pearwood) fretboard -- so it's basically par for the course in the realm of entry-level parlor-sized guitars of the '20s and '30s. It does sound bluesy/rootsy and makes a great fingerpicking guitar.
The top is cut a little thinner than its competitors' birch-top instruments and so it has a bit more articulation/volume with the extra-light 46w-10 gauges it needs to keep its neck happy at standard tuning.
