Vintage Swedish made guitar from 1932..

Levin modell 212 C 1932!!

Just for fun my friends, I'd like to present some of the vintage acoustic instruments that I collect. A swedish brand called "LEVIN"
Was named Goya in the US..

I got a WHOLE lot of these old ones and I'll post a video here now and then..

On 27 July 1900, Herman Carlson Levin began building his wonderful stringed instruments in a small workshop in Gothenburg. My great passion is collecting these instruments that, to my eyes (and ears), were some of the best guitars ever built..

Certainly, many people today know of Levin for its fine old arch-top guitars or its plainer and not quite so fine-sounding beginners' instruments from the 50s and 60s. But long before this, Levin was top of its class in Europe and other parts of the world. It already achieved a high-point as an instrument maker at the 1907 World's Fair in Madrid, where it won the gold medal for the best guitar. Remember, this was in the Spanish guitar builders' home territory. Not only that, Levin was awarded the exhibition's Grand Prix.

@morrixon2

Thanks!

I have no idea what this tuning is, I think I just tuned it to an open chord and played..

Start with open G, I think it'll be the best for a beginner!!

Hey again! Goya eh? I think thats the same manufacturer of guitar featured in The Sound of Music! Ha, coincidence, since I just watched that film the other day.

Great responsiveness, and hey you're not so bad yourself! ;)

Have a good one!

I just got my old 262c up running. Bought it a year ago or more and finally got the time to fix it, and I must say it is a wonderful guitar I'm in love!!!

It got a fantastic tone.
