Bay State / Parlor 1890s / Guitar

Bay State was the brand name of high end acoustic guitars created by the John C. Haynes Company (a department of Ditson), which was founded in 1865 in Boston, Massachusetts. Bay State were arguably the first manufacturer of stringed instruments producing significant numbers for the general population. With this they were ahead of Martin and became the biggest competitor of the brand. This parlor was made in the last decade of the 19th century. Bay State guitars from this era are known for using quality tonewoods and intricate inlays. With this guitar, for example, the purfling and the 3-ring rosette on the top stand out. The body is made from a beautiful set of Brazilian rosewood with a few repaired cracks on the back while the sides are still clean for their age. The spruce top with ladder bracing also has a repaired crack. Although the saddle is quite low, the tone is still mesmerizingly beautiful and it is impressive to see how this guitar has endured over the past 120 years. After all these years, it is now in 'fair' condition and deserves a nice place in a collection where its enchanting sound will still be heard every now and then.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
