quote:
ORIGINAL: Anders Eliasson I think the 48 Barbero has a slanted lower harmonic bar. Thats why I called this a symetrical version. Also, I cant remember if Barbero at that time had started using the long bridge patch he used on his later guitars. Anders, You are correct about that particular guitar. Essentially Barbero made several different bar angles around that time; one, a straight harmonic bar across the top in 1948 that Sabicas used to own and actually gave it to a friend of mine during the 50's when Sabicas and Carmen Amaya performed in San Antonio. Sabicas gave it to him for helping out with some business correspondence, which cost Sabicas about 25 dollars for the guitar back then. It had a crack that needed repair so mi Amigo took it to Arcangel Fernandez, when he was in Spain, and he told Elario that the guitar could not be repaired to sound the same, so Fernandez built a new top for it in 1959. That guitar had a bridge strap. Also, I have some other Barbero plans in my shop that all have straight bars across the top; two 1948’s, a 1949, and a 1951. Some of these patterns had bridge straps and some did not. The 1951 had a long thin bridge strap across the top.
