Estimate

£13,000 - £18,000

Fees

The Granary Collection - 1996 Greg Smallman classical guitar, made in Australia; Back and sides: cocobolo; Top: cedar; Neck: cedar; Fretboard: ebony; Frets: nickel; Tuners: engraved brass with pearl buttons; Case: original fitted maple hard case; Nut width: 52mm; Scale length: 650mm

*From The Granary Collection.

The back and sides are a heavy triple laminate of cocobolo and the table is supported by a honeycomb lattice of balsa wood and carbon fibre which enables Smallman to make his tops very thin (less than 1mm in places), whilst withstanding the 64lb pressure of the strings without tearing.

This guitar is an outstanding example of Greg Smallman's work having an exceptionally attractive back and is in very fine condition.

Condition notes: back and sides in good condition with minor marks. The top shows signs of play wear. The frets are tarnished and oxidised in places and will need cleaning. Otherwise a good example.
