    I visited Jacob's workshop in Johannesburg in about 1965 to buy a guitar from him, I had a choice of three that were ready. Fantastic day and it inspired me to make guitars myself eventually

    I have a Jacob Van de Geest classical guitar dated 1964. I would like to sell it to raise funds for a charity, it's in great condition but the action is high (around 7mm at the 12th fret) and doesn't look like there's a lot of room for adjustment. Is it
    still worth something as a collector's piece does anyone know? Any advice on how I could go about selling it in UK would be welcome.
