Price: $1300

Free Shipping

Case NOT included. Send me an email if you want the case. $130 my cost.

Rare Brazilian rosewood fret board. Matching Brazilian bridge.

Tone quality is exceptional with full harmonic response. You can pay return shipping to send it back if you don’t like the sound, but you won’t want to. See my feed back on this website for examples.

This guitar offers nice play feel and perfect intonation. High-E action is 4/64 at the 12th fret. Low-E slightly higher.

Neck was reset.

Back was removed, ladder bracing on top was removed, new forward shifted 100 degree X-bracing installed. All cracks are comprehensively stabilized. Easy to do when the back is off.

Back bracing is original, but rounded and sanded smooth.

Structural bracing is added to the sides for improved tone. I do not believe anyone else does this but it is my mark of quality workmanship.

As usual, satisfaction is guaranteed. Returns allowed per our warranty.

I pay attention to small details. Top braces are tapered and sanded smooth. The inside back and sides are cleaned up and sanded smooth. Back braces are rounded and sanded smooth. Harmony production glue globs are chipped out. Serial numbers (if any) are preserved.
