Angelo Galliano Concert Guitar
...Most Galiano guitars are labeled "A. Galiano". This
instrument is a rare example whose label gives the first name
rather than just an initial and uses the (double-L)
Italian spelling: Galliano. It was probably made by
Antonio Cerrito before 1920. Spruce top, birch sides and back
with faux-rosewood finish. Top is maple bound. Excellent
original condition. Repaired center top seam separation and
repaired crack next to treble side of the fingerboard (not
visible). 13 3/4" lower bout, 25 1/2" scale and a surprisingly
modern neck width of 1 11/16". Action is very close and
comfortable. This is a wonderful sounding little gem that is fun
to play and is in way better than average condition! Comes with
recent chipboard case. $1295.00

concert size body with a standard six string neck and a second
fretless neck with six sub-bass strings. Red spruce top, birch
sides and back with faux rosewood finish. Several repaired
cracks to the top and back. Original finish throughout. The six
sub-bass strings on second neck act as drones, vibrating
sympathetically and creating a haunting, almost mystical sound
unlike any other guitar I have played. Excellent action and
playability. Includes hard-shell case. This is truly a remarkable instrument - and such
fun to play! Amaze your family and friends! Amaze yourself!!
