Knutsen Harp Guitar
Carefully comparing the shape of the bass headstock to the
other "Evolving Symphony" guitars, I felt this one fell halfway
between the second and third row styles - hence it's placement and estimated
date.
This guitar is undergoing restoration - the neck, back and bridge were off when
it was found, and were just temporarily placed for the photo.
In the left image I've cut and re-pasted the neck into a position closer to the
original.
