McIlroy A30c early example from the Irish master builder NOW SOLD!

glt56

Here is my beloved McIlroy A30c which I have reluctantly put up for sale.  It is a beautiful small bodied jumbo in the finest Lowden and Avalon Celtic traditions.  Dermot McIlroy worked with George Lowden for many years before setting up his own luthiery and his work is considered at least the equal, perhaps better.  This early example (Serial No. 037) has solid Indian Rosewood back and sides with a bearclaw Sitka Spruce top.  The bindings are Pear with Rosewood & Sycamore inlays, an Abalone rosette, Rio Rosewood bridge and a Walnut strap button inlay.  Even the heel cap is Koa!  It also has gold Gotoh tuners with perloid buttons.  It comes complete with it's original Hiscox hard case, and its certificate of authenticity.  It also has a  Mcintyre feather pickup to allow the best possible output with minimal change to the guitar body.  It is a beautiful guitar which I thought I'd never sell... but I'm afraid, needs must!  PRICE DROP FOR QUICK SALE!  £1850 ovno, and the guitar can be collected from my home in Chester, or from my work address near Manchester Airport.  Thanks for looking!  NOW SOLD

Cheers, I don't want to let it go but life just comes and bites you on the arse sometimes....

Bump.  McilRoys are great guitars and this is a fantastic price.  If it was for sale closer to Edinburgh, I'd probably buy it (even though I dont really need it)
