Honey colored wood, simple decoration around the edge of the guitar and the sound hole. Decorative black metal expanding from guitar’s bridge. Some mild scratching due to age. This guitar was featured in the book “Frankenstein,” and belonged to the elderly, impoverished M. De Lacey to whom Frankenstein’s monster formed an attachment. De Lacey’s guitar playing was one of the few pleasures that the monster experienced in its life, just as De Lacey's kindness was the only positive interaction that the monster ever had with humanity. M. De Lacey's guitar contributed to the mood of the Creature's narrative about his early developments and benevolent impulses.

De Lacey's guitar would have been created by hand in the mid to late-18th century, an instrument that signified wealth and education in that era. Shelley uses the guitar to indicate M. De Lacey's genteel nature, despite his fall into poverty. This gentility is mirrored in the treatment the monster receives from De Lacey, as the blind man is the only one to treat the creature with any respect or concern. Listening to the guitar is a significant part of the creature's development of its better nature, and its attraction to the better parts of humanity.
