This beautiful and very rare archtop acoustic has been brought to our attention by it’s owner, Bart Phillipe.

Stamped with the makers mark ‘John Grey and Sons’, and the serial number 6240, this jazz master has been lovingly restored and by all accounts, sounds amazing!

John Grey and Sons was established in 1832 and became known for high-quality banjos, guitars and drums.  It was bought by Rose Morris in 1928.

I think you’ll agree, Bart has done a great job in restoring it to it’s former glory.
