Well, I hate to sell it, but someone should be getting some mileage out of it… 

I am not sure a description of the model is necessary on this forum. It is in Excellent condition.

This guitar has not seen much use. Since I have owned it, it has been played maybe a handful of hours (thats 5 in Texas). 

It comes with the case. I am asking 1750 + shipping. You can find pictures HERE (God, I am praying this link works)

If you have any questions, you can email me at jay@jayk.net 

thanks,

jay

Those really are magnificent guitars. And $1750 is dirt cheap. By today's standards, it should be twice that price.....

A beautiful beautiful guitar. Is this a SMT or a CVT? And I assume it is a textured top??

Dave, SMT is smooth top, straight grain.
CVT is smooth top, woven.... But they are shiny.

HERE are the specs from another UTE sale...

Unidirectional carbon fibre textured top, black finish with sparkles
Textured, non-cutaway deep bowl
12 frets to the body
1 3/4" nut
5-piece mahogany/maple neck with natural hand-rubbed urethane finish
Slotted headstock with ebony overlay
Gold Schaller tuners with ebony buttons
Ebony fingerboard with Mother-of-Pearl Adamas I-style inlays
Ebony pinless bridge
Original Patented pickup with OP Pro preamp
Exotic hardwood epaulets around Adamas soundholes
Ivoroid binding
Quintad bracing

(That was the best specs that I could find)

Thanks OMA for popping that description out there. The UTE is a killer acoustic.

Sorry to see you couldn't give her any more time than I could, Jay, but it's great guitar. Hopefully it sees the attention it's due in it's new home.

Congrats on the sale.
