The Malago was originally concieved as a "Parlour-Sized" hollowneck with a shorter than usual scale-length made specifically for higher tunings than the more regular "Weissenborn" tunings of open D or G.
Very few were made.
3 prototypes.
1 cedar top, mahogany back & sides.
1 spruce top, mahogany back & sides.
1 spruce top, mahogany back & sides, floating bridge.
A limited production run followed.
So, they are incredibly rare...
