I play 6-strings, 12-strings, mandolin, mandocello and this nylon. The neck is the same width as my 12’er, so I find it easy to switch up. I tried a classical nut (2 inches) for a while, but my muscle memory kept fudging my fingering. That doesn't happen with this instrument. The 6773-LX is easily one of the more handsome guitars I’ve seen, with that creamy spruce top set off by the tortoise binding and rosette, it dares you not to stare! This instrument sounds great unplugged. Through a sound system, it's bloody matchless! I bought this one thinking to turn it into another project, but the recession is cranking my chains financially, so this one has to go. (Man, is that last bit becoming the mantra of guitar forums lately or what?) Anyway, it has one problem which you can clearly see in the pictures. Sometime in the past it took a bang of some sort near the input jack on the bowl. This resulted in some cracking of the bowl that is glued and stable. I sent pictures to John Budny over a year ago, and he told me that it would be an easy thing for them to sand it and make it disappear if I wanted, but the repair seemed necessary for aesthetic reasons only as the guitar plays and sounds just fine. From the front, this thing looks brand new! I kid you not! Of course, something like that can be both bad AND good, since it certainly lowers the value, but in this case has no effect on the sound, looks, or playability of the guitar at all. So in an effort to try and make this easy, I'll ask for $625 shipped in the continental U.S. If you want me to ship it elsewhere, get with me for a quote first. Take a good look at the pictures. They tell the story better than I can. One final thing, I'm afraid I don't have much time to mess around, so I have already scheduled an auction on eBay to begin Tuesday night with no reserve. I will post a link when it goes live.... ....unless of course someone would rather just buy it here? Ask any questions. Thanks for looking!            | ||
