The guitar is beautiful with only a couple of finish flaws. It plays like a dream and the intonation is perfect. It also has the magical mystery finish…it’s actually deep burgundy colored, but it looks completely different in different lights, shifting from black through burgundy to dark maroon and back again. Frankly, this finish is a BEAR to photograph, and my pictures do not do it justice. For those of you into tasteful bling, it has mother of pearl binding around the soundboard and the neck and an MOP oakleaf soundhole rosette, but it really isn’t in your face like some others because of the dark finish. It also comes with the Hex FX pre-amp. Other details include a solid sitka spruce top, ebony neck, gold tuners with pearloid buttons, 25 ¼” scale length, 1 11/16” nutwidth, and MOP 12th fret inlay. Now for the flaws, look closely in the pictures and you will see four of them in the top finish: two small dings on the lower bout, a scratch (not a finish crack) on the high E side of the rosette, and a pretty lengthy finish crack on the lower bout. This last has been stable since the 90’s. None of these affect playability or the integrity of the guitar. Some pick scratching is there as well. A trip to the mothership (which I can’t afford) would yield a stunning instrument tonally and aesthetically. Still, the flaws are noticeable, so the price reflects the circumstance. $675 shipped in the continental U. S. International members will definitely want to check with me about shipping first. It comes with a well-used, but sturdy after market, fitted H/S case. Feel free to ask questions and leave opinions. I’ve got my eye on some eBay guitars, so someone needs to take this one quick!        More pictures in the next post. | ||
