Description
Richard Jacob “Weißgerber” was one of the most creative, innovative, but certainly the most versatile guitar maker of the 20th century. Neither in Germany nor in the world has there been or is there any other master whose work, in its multiplicity, would be comparable to that of Richard Jacob. The variety of his models, their shapes and designs are unique. Undoubtedly, he is one of the great artists of his guild. “Weißgerber” guitars like the instruments of other major guitar builders have something special. The penciled inscription on the crossbar above the sound hole has the serial number 21.1/1.
