Description

circa 1980's Ehlers Natural Acoustic Guitar, Serial #193.
Rob Ehlers was known for his meticulous, small-scale production and traditional craftsmanship, making each of his instruments unique and highly refined. This example showcases his use of premium tonewoods and understated elegance, with European maple providing clarity and projection, and spruce offering a balanced, articulate voice. The Brazilian rosewood accents add visual contrast and tonewood value. With its pristine condition and boutique build quality, this Ehlers guitar is an excellent choice for collectors and players seeking a rare, luthier-made instrument from the Pacific Northwest.
Original hard case included. Condition: Excellent.
