I have had this guitar for some time now. It has been used as my main demo model at festivals and shows as well as in the workshop, so I have become quite attached to it. However, it is now time for me to make a new guitar for this purpose and to offer the current one for sale.
Item specifics.
A drop shoulder dreadnought built from western red cedar from Vancouver Island for the soundboard. Indian Rosewood back and sides, ebony fretboard and bridge, Schaller M6 machine heads with ebony buttons.
The guitar is fitted with a K&K pure mini pickup with offboard preamp.
The neck is slightly wider ..45mm at the nut and 57mm at the 14th fret.
The guitar has warm tones, fat bottom end, and is easy to play.
As with demo model, there are a few scratches on the top and back as well as on the scratch plate, but overall in nearly new condition.
Normal price ex workshop $4,950
This guitar ex workshop is $,4400 in case.Freight and insurance not included.
Pick up from me is welcome.
This guitar has now been sold..thanks for your enquiries
