19th Century Salvador Ibanez
Ibanez · acoustic guitar
Salvador Ibanez was a Spanish guitar maker active in the late 19th century whose workshop, along with makers such as Manuel Salvador, contributed to the classical Spanish guitar tradition that the modern Ibanez brand later took its name from when it began Japanese production in the 20th century. A 19th-century Salvador Ibanez instrument represents that original Spanish lutherie rather than the modern electric and steel-string brand. The Eric Clapton link recorded against this instrument in the catalogue has no independent source backing it that this search turned up, so it is presented here as an open question rather than settled provenance.
