This guitar is a Tonk Brothers Sterling Parlor Guitar from the 20's/30's. This guitar is in incredible shape for its age. It is all original(another incredible fact) and about the only thing it will need is probably a neck set and setup. The guitar is playable as is, but with the neck set properly she will be a beauty. You do not see many of these around so the lucky buyer will have a rare and funky instrument to enjoy. Hate to let it go.
Welcome to Your Grandpa's Guitar. A blog dedicated to the guitars our grandparents may have owned. I hope to emphasize depression era instruments with an even greater emphasis on the so called working mans guitar. Guitars that were made and/or distributed by such companies as Regal, Sears and Roebuck(i.e. Supertone), Maybell/Slingerland, Tonk Brothers, Kay, Harmony and more. I hope you enjoy!!

Beautiful. Does it sound as good as it looks?
ReplyDeleteI have a remarkably similar TBC Sterling w/ the same color etc. etc. It needs a neck reset so I am playing bottleneck guitar with it--it has a big sound fro such a small guitar
