Solid Koa back and sides with solid bearclaw spruce top....nice claw!

This is a stock photo since the guitar is currently residing with Jeff. I am sure he can snap some photos for me and attest to this guitars condition, sound, and playability!



Body Shape: New Yorker
Rosette: Abalone
Top: Solid Bear Claw Spruce
Inlays: Dots
Back: Solid Koa
Sides: Solid Koa
Fingerboard: Ebony
Electronics: TLD Line Driver
Tuners: Gold & Pearl

This guitar is just a tone machine acoustically. New yorker size is slightly smaller but sounds much bigger, really projects well. Has a nicely balanced woody tone with rich harmonics and clear string separation. Just a sweet ax. Maybe it is the hi grade solid koa, or the solid bearclaw spruce top, or the attention to detail, or all of it together, but if this ax had a different logo, it would sell for twice as much easily.

These list for $2700 new and street price is still around $1900-2000.
Excellent plus/near mint with OHSC.

This is really a steal at the price of $1600 shipped CONUS.

Let me send this one to vacation at your house for a while. I like how short term visitors become adopted as permanent family members!

Location: closely held secret		Since I'll no doubt have to go into hiding when it shows up, make sure your address is on it, so my wife knows where to send the hit man.


...on second thought, please don't send it. My guitar allowance got used up on the last 'visitor' from Colorado. I would prefer to not celebrate my next birthday posthumously. I can't say for sure that I could get out of the house fast enough.
