INFORMATION
The properties of this 1760 Salomon guitar, like other French guitars made in the same period, are little different from the five-string baroque guitars manufactured fifty to sixty years earlier. The fretboard still flow seamlessly into the body; the heads are the same, the strings are double-coursed and the frets are made of gut. However, the decorated rosette has given way to a soundhole and the appearance of the instrument was generally more simple.
