 |
|
Hey, I bought an acoustic guitar at a yardsale for 30 bucks. To sum it up it is hands down THE BEST acoustic I have ever laid my hands on. The action is perfect, the tone is so amazing it's almost unforgettable, and the guitar has excellent harmonics and volume. The only thing it lacks is looks, as it is very plain in design but its not ugly. It's a tad beat up and is missing a pickguard. Anywho . . . the purpose of this post is to see if anyone has info on Seville guitars, I have looked all over the web for hours and cannot find anything even pertaining to its existence. My guitar has a label on the inside which says: Seville Guitars Model No. S-13. And there is an inspection sticker at the base of the neck that is worn beyond readability. Any information about the guitar or the company would be extremely helpful.
Thanks!

| This model Acoustic Guitar was produced by the Hondo Guitar Company during the mid to late 70's, just after Hondo moved production to Korea. The model S-13 was the "high end" of the Acoustic/Classical production. These Guitars were entirely hand made, fitted and "voiced". These Guitars produce a superb tone and play best with all steel strings preferably of light action. Some of the woods used were African Rosewood, Ebony and White Birch. Less than 200 Of the model S-13 were produced and are a rare find. Only five models of varying qualities were produced, all less than 200 each. Seville went on to produce various models of electric guitars all prior to the "Lawsuit Era". Because so few were made in such limited numbers very little information exsists regarding the Acoustic/Clasical models. Because of this most people think these are of no value. Actually they are very valuable. For instance the S-13 at 98%+ condition is worth between $900.00 and $1300.00 depending on the woods used. |
