Displaced from Hungary by World War II, Bela Gemza came to the U.S. in the late 1940s and strived to make great, original guitars and lutes from the finest materials in the basement of his modest home. Time has shown that he succeeded.
This wonderful Gemza guitar dates from what many believe was Bela’s “Golden period” of craftsmanship in 1973. It is an especially beautiful instrument thanks to the Indian Rosewood back and sides and Spruce top ornamented with beautiful Maple binding. The playability and tone of this instrument is exquisite. Gemza guitars project beautifully and this one offers a complete tone which has gained authority over time, like a fine aged red wine.
I truly love the voice of this instrument. It is pure and clear. The neck is slender, yet wide and will suit many players. This is a rare gem from the late Bela Gemza and while it has finish checking it is solid and stable. A wonderful concert guitar with a truly unique voice from the gifted Bela Gemza. | Scale Length | 25.75 in |
