I know of three original guitars that look like Faria's. The first
one
is even for sale:

Wow, 8,000 euros is a good price for something so old and so unique.
People pay a lot more for crap Gibsons from the 1940s. If I had the
money, I would buy it. With a little bit of lutherie, I'm sure it could
be playing concerts again. But what was played on it? Was it a
19th-century attempt to turn an old baroque guitar into a Decacord? Six
single strings on the fretboard might indicate that.
Any luthiers reading this who would like to comment?
