1960s-70s vintage classical nylon guitar – Resonata 730 from East Germany

Description

I’ve had this Resonata 730 for a few years now, and it’s honestly one of the most satisfying guitars I’ve played. It’s a full-size 4/4 classical from the 60s-70s, made by Musima in Markneukirchen — a place known for solid luthiery back in the day, especially in East Germany. The guitar’s been professionally set up, so it’s ready to go right out of the box. Fretboard has been polished, the fingerboard conditioned, and it’s got a fresh set of Augustine nylon strings — the kind that old-school players used to love.

The tone is warm and rich, and it plays smooth even after decades. I’ve played it regularly, and it’s still in great shape for what it is. There’s a bit of paint cracking on the body and back of the neck — just cosmetic, nothing that affects how it plays. The wood is solid spruce on the top, mahogany on the sides, and it’s a full-size guitar, so it’s perfect for someone who’s 5ft or taller.

It came with the original black leather gig bag — still in good shape, just a little faded. I’ve kept it well, so it’s not just sitting in a drawer.

If you’re interested, you can pick it up in Withernsea, East Riding of Yorkshire, or I’ll send it out with courier. Postage is an extra £20, and it’ll be packed properly in a sturdy box with all the padding to protect it. Honestly, it’s a real piece of music history — and I’m happy to pass it on to someone who’ll enjoy playing it.
