Guyot (Guiot) 1849 – Ladies’ model Romantic guitar with smaller dimensions and excellent sound!
The guitar was made by a luthier who signed the neck block with J. Guyot (11.7.1849). Based on the construction and history of the guitar, we assume that it was built in London in the vicinity of Panormo. Several French luthiers by the name of Guyot (Guiot) worked there and the construction style of this guitar is accordingly.
According to information from the previous owner, this guitar was specially made for the baroness Marion Barfield of the Priority (born 1831). The guitar has been in the family ever since. A corresponding family tree is included.
This guitar is a real masterpiece. Very high quality materials and excellent master craftsmanship make this little guitar a true wonder of sound. The fine inlays and the high-quality machine heads underline the quality of the instrument.
