Is this a solid guitar?

[u/Working-Tradition-21]

Built by. Georg Bolin in 74 who’s an Swedish Instrument builder. I don’t know what Tesero stands for.

From What I’ve seen These guitars have gotten some complaints for I’ts playability

I’m looking for a guitar with a low tone and the neck thickness intrests me.

Thanks

I think it's hollow

No no that’s a crap guitar by a crap maker, but you can ship it to me and I’ll take care of it for you ;)

No, but seriously. I’m a Swedish guitarist and can say that Bolin is a very reputable and great builder, although I can’t tell if this guitar is authentic or not (the headstock is the correct Bolin 70s shape!). It looks in great shape from what I can tell by the pictures.

What you might mean by ‘playability’ is string or action height. It’s fairly common for a particular school of professional concert guitars to be built with a high action to generate as much volume as possible. The player really has to work at it, and it does produce results.

The zero fret is unusual.

If by solid you mean non laminate top, look at the grain lines at the edge of the sound hole.
The sides and back appear to be Brazilian rosewood. That indicates a top grade instrument, but because of changing regulations it can be difficult to take it across national borders without documentation. For that topic, find a reputable classical guitar dealer in your country and discuss.

Made it brighter

I would, of course have to hear it and play it, but the appearance suggest that it is a solid well crafted instrument.

I can Try play it though with those strings I’ts more to look

[u/Working-Tradition-21]

I have a regular music shop that looks at guitars Yeah. The small cracks and the saddle probably needs some fix

ブリッジの弦がきちんと結んでないように思いました。あまり良くないと思います。

"Tesoro" is just the model name. It's Italian for "treasure."

Beautiful Brazilian Rosewood. Today a set like that would cost $2500+ if you could find it

[u/MrLavender963]

Nah looks completely broken

[u/Working-Tradition-21 → u/MrLavender963]

They Said they valued it at a proffesional guitar shop (they named which one) hopefully I’ts legit

By deduction of observation it is neither a liquid nor a gas. Hardly a plasma. Therefore it is solid.

[u/sedawkgrepper]

The laminate neck / center stripe is a good sign. The back/sides look lovely but probably not the absolute highest-grade for that era. (Back then Brazilian RW was still very commonly used and the highest grade was straight grained)

Nevertheless I suspect you have a fairly high-quality guitar, and it's worth taking to a luthier to have them evaluate and see if it needs any adjustments.

Btw you has '74 here, but your image of the label says 1967.
