Welcome to the Acoustic Guitar Community.
Gianni Craviola
Morning All,
Looking for some help and advice please... I was searching through my loft last weekend and happened to come across a 12 stringed Gianni Craviola which was quite a pleasant surprise. Only problem is that I know nothing about this guitar! I believe the model is GWSCRA 12 00051/91
Could someone please give me some info as to how old the guitar might be and also how much it could be worth as I'm currently saving for a mortgage and I need all the money I can get !!
Look forward to hearing from people.
Oh and I do have some pics if anyone is interested.
Thanks

Wells, congrats on finding a guitar! Much better than finding a Windaroo in a garbage can...as I did...
Anyway, I own one of these - if there is not a "P" after the GWSCRA12, you have a solid Sitka spruce topped, laminated pao ferro/morado (also known as Bolivian rosewood) back and sides model. These currently sell for about $567 new on Amazon, but I bought mine last September for $360.44, also from Amazon (some sale last year - check the 12-string group for a discussion).
Anyway, unless it is all-solid-wood (GWSCRA12-P), if it is in good shape you might get $300 - $400 for it.
Does it have electronics? Or the specially-shaped hardshell case? Either of these might make it worth a bit more...
Check my page for pics of mine - in my profile pic as well (on left) - please post pics of yours.
The US distributor is www.etrosmusic.com - perhaps you could call and ask for info? Regardless, go to the site and you'll gets lots of info and history on the Craviola...
Is your inside label brown with gold lettering, and difficult to read - placed below soundhole?
