Does anyone know anything about a Roderich Paesold 6string acoustic guitar?

I purchased it in a garage sale, it seems to be a quality instrument, but I can't find out any information about it.

Thanks Judy

: Well Judy, there are at least three of us looking to find out about these guitars,I have one ,some guy named Jonny and you,All asking the same question..
I have two theories,based on nothing more than these are great guitars no one built.
Ok ..They might be forgeries, I talked to the factory and there is no record of Paesold ever making these classical guitars.Paesold is a well respected name in fine stinged instaments, but NOT guitars,So some guitar maker somewhere might have lifted the name to help sell guitars. Or Paessold DID make these guitars, for a short time,either in his factory or subbed out somewhere, and then decided he wasn't happy with the product ,and decided to stay with what he did best.That would be very cool if we could prove that was the case,these would be collectable.Either way we have a pretty fine instrament if yours is anything like mine,
Good luck,
Rick

Sorry I hit the wrong button and left a blank follow-up

Now make it 6. I manage a Habitat for Humanity store and we just received a Model P180 roderich paesold guitar. I would like to get some idea of it's worth before I put it out for sale. Every dollar we make helps someone get their home. I'd hate to sell a $500 guitar for $5.00. I'll keep looking.

Thanks, Jeff

I finally found a little information. Roderich Paesold may not have made guitars, but Karl Hofner did. Hofner made high quality guitars and he bought out the Roderich Paesold company in the 1960's. It looks like he made some guitars and put the name of his newly aquired co. on them. With the connection to Hofner and Roderich Paesold, these should be fairly expensive guitars.

Hello,
Looking for value, info and comments on a PAESOLD Model#P230/12string acoustic guitar.

I bought it at a Goodwill Store last week for $40. It's in nice playable condition, showing the normal 12 string stress cracks. I took a chance, bought it, replaced the missing pegs, nut and strings.

Sounds great!

Regsrds,

I've just pulled a Roderich Paesold six string guitar serial number P100 out of a skip. It's in pretty bad shape, no machine heads, no nut, no pins, no saddle and half the lacquer has been removed because its just breaking off. But I'm going to put it back together to see what it sounds like. I'm off to Andys Guitar Shop in London to see if they know anything about these guitars.

Make that five people asking. I have had this old Paesold P230 12 String for many years now and I have recently just took it out tof the case. It's a very heavy guitar (but I am comparing it to my Taylor) and it seems to be made very well. It was still prettyy much in tune which amazed me since it was in the case for over ten years. One thing I remember about this guitar from years ago, was that it did not have a very large sound which I thought was odd for a 12 string. It may have been the strings I was using back them, so today I am buying new strings and things and see what she sounds like now. I e-mailed the people at www.paesold.com and hopefully I will get a legitimate responce. Good Luck to all.

i found something on this - Roderich Paesold is made by The Boosey & Hawkes. Their instrument division manufactures and distributes high quality musical instruments.

I also have a Roderick Paesold, P160, six-string guitar, and have no information about it. If anyone found out
specifics about this instrument, I'd be very grateful. Thank you.
