Two Hundred and Sixty Five years! This Citra, or English Guittar was made by Thomas Haxby of York. And though it has seen its share of horrors, it has persevered and is here today to let you know it STILL EXISTS! Worm holes be damned! New bridge, new violin style table saddle, new nut, and so much more in this adventure back in time! what a very rare privilege this was, and I hope you enjoy seeing/hearing and learning about it with me!
