AMKA - Acoustic Guitar - Netherlands

Beautiful hand-built AMKA jazz guitar / archtop by violin maker and guitar pioneer Albert Veneman from the Netherlands This guitar was built around the 1940's / wartime. Of course with some signs of age, but despite the age of about 80 years in very good and incredibly beautiful condition. Easy to play, slim neck. And completely in original vintage condition. Beautiful full deep sound. Before that this was a very luxurious guitar. Extremely rare guitar. In a period of about 14 years, the total AMKA production was less than, for example, Egmond 60s (Best Nederland) realized per month. Says enough.
